Yeah, I disagree. Calling the cops is not about doing a "wake up call" for the drunken driver. I do agree, that shame can lead to more drinking, and that's a sad truth about drinking, yeah? not about what responsibilites exist around drunk drivers.

Me, I'm sober BOTH because of my consequences/responsibilites while drinking, AND the ongoing benefits and duties of living sober. One of those duties is clearly public safety re: drunk driving.

Drunk driving isn't rocket science. Its wrong. No matter the justification, its still wrong. Drunk driving is pure and simple like playing russian roulette...
