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.

More people now cause accidents by talking on cell phones then driving drunk, kinda scary eh! I'm not saying I agree with driving drunk, but how many times have you almost had some dumb ass almost crash into you due to speaking on a cell phone.
Like someone else stated, driving while drinking or taking drugs is a bad thing. Your reaction times are slowed down a lot after a single joint or two drinks.
