Here is video from CBS News' "60 Minutes" last night where they took a hard look at the need for much harsher penalties against DWI offenses. It focuses on a family who were hit head-on by a drunk-driver, with their 7 year-old daughter killed.
The report shows dramatic video of a dash-cam inside the limousine the family was in. You can see the drunk driver's vehicle coming right at the limo and then the crash takes place.
The report then deals with the prosecutor in the case seeking a charge of "murder by depraved indifference" against the young man who had driven drunk despite being told by friends not to drive.

Although drunk driving is a huge problem, let's get to the heart of the problem. Alcoholism. It knows no social boundaries, destroys families with a widespread reach. How do you think people that spend long hours in bars get home at night? They drive. You can buy booze at your local 7-11 and grocery store. Alcohol is a drug. For some reason it was left out in "The war on Drugs". Why? Because it's socially acceptable and companies like Anheiser-Busch has pretty horses to make it appear wholesome. Well, the result is dead bodies strewn accross every state, broken and heartbriken families. The problem is alcohol. Start there!!
