When it comes to drunk drivers, I am in favor of a 0 tolerance approach 

Get caught drunk driving? 

You aren’t a driver anymore, and will never be again. Not trustworthy enough to handle the responsibility of that freedom

Also from personal experience, you won't miss the hangovers at all :D 

I think alcohol can be a bit monstruous - in the sense that people end up forgetting what happened. 

And if you do this in relationship with people you care, well that isn't all that cool. (Of course not everyone drinks that much but, it sure does not aid brain function in the long run :)) 

Apparently in Germany 20k cases of cancer every year can be attributed to alcohol directly and 40k deaths. There's also several thousand drunk drivers at any given point. It's pretty insane if you think about that. Maybe they should show those in their ads to help people with Dry January.
