In what possible way is this sane?

Here’s another one. You’re throwing a BBQ at your house and one of your neighbours hates you. You remember last minute you need x item, run out, grab it and come back. Upon return you start drinking with your friends. Maybe you have that friend who suggests “catching up with a shot”. 2 hours later the cops show up and ask you to accept a breathalyzer test. Neighbour said they saw you drinking and driving. DUI.
Sure, the story is an extreme example and a rare situation. But it highlights a huge flaw. This situation shouldn’t be allowed.
For the record I couldn’t be more against drunk driving. I don’t have a single friend who even pushes it, because those people have been weeded out over time. I don’t tolerate it.
