Its the driving bit we should be focusing on.

As someone who is drug free and alcohol free, I don't find this argument all that compelling.
I'm not in favor of prohibition or anything close to it, but raising taxes on booze and other recreational drugs to pay for increased education and awareness campaigns, seems like a good idea. Plus giving police officers more of a mandate to do spot checks and pull people over suspected of drunk driving. They already can do it, but they need to do more of it.
And of course anyone with a DUI should not be allowed to drive any vehicle without a blower installed in it.
