I don't think DUI's punishments are strict enough. In most states you can have multiple dui's and all you get is a suspended license plus a small fine. Maybe an alcohol awareness class.

Driving drunk, in my view, is tantamount to attempted manslaughter. Everytime you get behind the wheel drunk, you are endangering everyone else on the road around you.
