Very few people drink and drive and consider it to be a "who cares?" type of thing, if challenged about it. And people who will drive drunk RARELY make a habit of it.

Over the past quarter-century, the number of people killed each year on U.S. roads due to drunk drivers has gone down by 44 percent. While that statistic shows progress, roughly a third of all drivers arrested or convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) are repeat offenders, according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). And those drivers are 40 percent more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than those without prior DUI convictions.
