I think the problem is driving. Public transportation is a mere gesture in most places in the US, and in rural areas, there aren't even taxis.
What are you going to do? People are going to drink, even if you revive prohibition. Given the transportation network we have, drunk driving is inevitable. Some of the upright folks here may not do it, but someone out there is going to.
It's just one of the prices we pay for a private car based transportation network. There are many others.
