I tend to be far more easygoing on first offenses for drunk driving, believing that even people who are generally OK can be guilty of the offense coming home from a party,or whatever.

But once should be fair warning, and second offenses treated much more severely, and if that doesn't stop, then jail time. I understand that there are places where auto is the only means of transit, so would condition any conditional license on an alcohol interloc ignition. 3 or 4 offenses, mandatory jail time, and a fine high enough to equal forfeiture of the vehicle.

This driver should not be on the road, but in any case, should be stripped of any safe harbor that a drivers license might include, and be charged with reckless endangerment or criminal negligence at the very least.
