Only strict punishment will help get more drunks off the road. Look at some of the European countries. Basically zero tolerance. When you're out with people drinking someone always stays sober or you get a cab. Everytime. Out punishments are a joke.

My cousing has 9 or so DUI's. It wasn't until after his 7th that he spent the year in jail. He's had two more since then and has spent very little time in prison. I have no idea how he gets away with it because I simply don't talk to him. At a family function a few weeks ago I called the Edmonds police on him but he left before they showed. Now I have an aunt (his mom) who will never talk to me again but so be it. I have no respect for her because she's enabled him every step of the way. I could not care less if he kills himself. But, having him drive away from another family function bombed out of his mind and possibly killing some innocent person wasn't going to sit to well with me.

My family thinks I'm joking when I offer to take him crabbing with me. I'm not. Can you say crab bait?
