Allow me to give the standard response about how driving is necessary here. DUIs are not cheap, not convenient, but someone shouldn't become unable to provide for their family based on one.

No, just kill the sole provider for another family instead, right? It’s only luck that stopped a dui from being a vehicular manslaughter charge.

I live in Ireland. Driving is essential here, unless you live in a major city.

Nonetheless, we clamp down hard on drink-driving, to such an extent that I was massively shocked by how acceptable it was in the US.

Sounds like Arizona here. Penalties are extremely harsh there.
