of course last night was new years eve where many people get drunk and some of them get behind the wheel afterwards.  i don't know the number of people who were killed or injured by drunk drivers in the early morning hours but when it comes to drunk drivers i show no leniency. i think for the most part are laws towards these drunk drivers are way too lenient.

In the United States alone, hundreds of people are killed by drunk drivers every day. Most states have laws against driving under the influence and the penalties associated with it vary greatly from fines to jail time. As you rightly mentioned, the laws tend to be lenient, which is why it's of utmost importance for people to be aware and responsible on the roads. Education on the risks of driving while impaired is crucial and stricter policies need to be put into place in order to protect not just drivers, but pedestrians and others on the road.
