But that's the thing, alcoholics
aren't rational. At least when it comes to drinking. That's why I really think the better course of action would be to stamp a drunks license "No Alcohol". Sure I probably could've still gotten drunk and maybe would've even continued driving, but if I wasn't able to get into bars or buy my own alcohol it would've drastically reduced the frequency of it.
For some reason there's this meme in America that buying and drinking alcohol is a natural right of every citizen regardless of the impact it has on their own or others lives. We'll suspend someone's license but we won't tell 'em they can't drink. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
