Drunk Driving Information

Is It Right to Punish Thousands for the Sake of a Few Hundred?

Wisconsin arrests and punishes over 37,000 citizens annually for OWI violations. There are some 300 deaths classified as alcohol-related annually. Wisconsin arrests over 100 citizens (who have harmed no one) for each alcohol-related death. Keep in mind that an alcohol-related death doesn't mean that alcohol caused the death or even played a role in it. For example, if a passenger in the car has alcohol in his/her blood and is killed, that passenger is an alcohol related death even if the driver had no alcohol in his/her blood. (nice way to inflate the problem, isn't it?)
