Of course, it’s different in the U.S. Here they actively try to come up with more reasons to encourage drunk drivers to get on the road. Obstruct public transport, place limits on the number of cabs, enact dry counties and blue laws with arbitrary time windows to encourage people to drive to the next state and back for alcohol when they could’ve got it by just walking to their corner store if it weren’t for those laws, etc.
The U.S. is a land of perverse incentives. Whatever might be good for society, we’ll find a way to enshrine the exact opposite into law.
