tough call. From a libertarian standpoint, the argument makes sense. From a practical standpoint it does not.

But perhaps the answer is somewhere in between. Instead of ciminalizing drunk driving, we should simply remove privileges. Make sober driving a condition of having a driver's license. If you are caught driving while drunk, your driver's license is revoked permanently. No crime is recorded on your record, no jail time, just permanent loss of privilege.

I bet that would have more of a deterrent effect than having to pay a fine and spend two nights in jail.
