drunk driving penalty

Do you think the following is feasible punishment against drunk driving?

So, if someone drives drunk, it should be acceptable without punishment. However, if that person gets into an accident where the fault is at least 50% su, then that person should receive the death penalty. Do you think you will deter drunken driving in the long run?

No. In many levels. First, where on earth can justify killing someone in an accident, regardless whether it was his fault or not? That's disgusting. Second, the death penalty is not a deterrent. In some cases, increase the levels of specific crimes of violence when she appears as a possible consequence. Thirdly, what does it mean to be acceptable without punishment? Your argument makes no sense. Drunk drivers should only pay accounts when they hurt themselves or someone else? What kind of logic is that? If kidnappers only be charged with a crime if they are injured physically the victim? In any case, most state laws are too lenient. Drunk drivers should not do in court with his fourth or fifth DUI, still has had a license and has never been referred to a court ordered alcohol abuse program … but I've seen it happen. Yes, alcoholism is a disease. So is addiction drug. I do not think people who drink or drug necessarily imprisonment, but they need to stop being treated with kid gloves in court, and they need to have real consequences that matters. Treatment programs, community service as a result of his crime, monitoring, etc. You should not take someone from being maimed or killed before someone intervenes.
