I agree with you that drunk driving is a terrible thing and should not happen. But in EVERY thing you do there is a risk. Also in entering traffic. The amount of accidents where alcohol is a causing factor is just a small amount of the total. The main part of accidents caused is still by speeding and not being able to control your car.
What about the addicted person's family you say? Well tough luck for them. The addicted person made a choice, right or wrong and they'll just have to live with it.

They wouldn't have to live with it if it were against the law. You seem to be all for the rights of some random druggie or alcoholic, and then you don't seem to mind the dozens of peoples lives that those people violate, be it hitting them with a car, going crazy and stabbing someone, or creating a widespread social disorder that could potentially cripple the united states.
I don't want to work with a bunch of worthless pot heads, just as much as I don't want to drive down to the bar to pick up my mothers friends drunken fool of a husband. If you want to destroy yourself, fine. It's when these people go out and interact with me that crosses the line, but who cares? People should have the choice to do that, right? No, like I said, I don't care if you kill yourself, just don't take anyone (especially me) with you.
