I've got to agree with Howard on this one... There's a big double standard here that many don't seem to want to admit. While an wreck may very well be a forseeable outcome from drinking and driving... do you really believe that a person does that with the ~intention~ of going out an having a wreck and killing someone? I really doubt that anyone intends to do that. It doesn't excuse the poor choice... but I don't see intent.
I'd also ask how this differes in any way with old gramps that can't move his legs anymore but won't quit driving (and tht includs the ones who've HAD their licence revoked and still won't quit)... Does he intend to kill anyone due to his lack of ability? I'd say not likely... What about the guy that falls asleep after driving 20 hours? A wreck is certainly a forseeable outcome to anyone who thought about it... but he just wanted to get home. It's only another 20 miles. What was his intent? What about the nitwits that were unsafe at any speed on any road at any time in their lives simply because they have no coordination, no ability and no common sense? I'm sure we can all think about a few of them around that are out there driving every day... yet they've apperantly passed a drivers exam? Is a wreck in their situation not forseeable, at least eventually? This is also no different than a host of people who have various medical conditions and continue to drive in spite of their ~imparement~. To me this is all the same. The imparements may be different but they're all impared to some degree. That's before we even get into the notion of using blood alcohol as a reliable indicator of imparement.
