There are over 110M drunk driving incidents in the US every year and nearly 7M crashes, drunk or otherwise [1][2]. If we conservatively attribute all of these crashes to drunk drivers, we find that 94% of drunk driving causes no damage or injury. It is, to borrow your words, overwhelmingly safe.

I ask you again, are you saying protests of any kind are never ok? Because that's what it sounds like you're saying.

All I ask is that your social movement be less injurious to society than being wasted behind the wheel.
