You failed to even give one alternate example of how to reduce or eliminate drunk driving!
Poser!
If there's a new way. I'll be the first in line. But, it better work this time!

You're the one who attempted to claim that "LE intervention" would end "world wide drunk driving".
I'd say that the best thing that's been done to reduce drunk driving has been years of endless propaganda against it. The only way that MADD and other nanny-statists have been able to make it look like the problem is not taking care of itself through societal pressure is be redefining down what is considered to be "intoxicated".
In addition to propaganda, another method of reducing it is to make sure that penalties for accidents caused by intoxication are dealt with by the law.
Fishing expeditions like the "drunk driving checkpoints" at issue in this article is one of the least effective ways to actually do anything to stop it. They are nothing but opportunities for 'revenue enhancement', and are barely a step removed from the scenes we used to see in old movies where some jackboot would be demanding "your papers please".
That only a minority on this thread support that kind of crap is good news IMO.
Please tell me you didn't just quote Megadeth.
Somehow, I just can't picture Dave Mustaine being in favor of DWI checkpoints. More to the point, I don't think he'd be in favor of jackbooted cops harassing 19 year old kids with irrelevant questions.
