...For that matter we really should actually criminalize DUI in a real way that matches the severity of the consequences of the behaviour.

Yes! DUI isn't frowned-upon or discouraged, it's straight-up ILLEGAL, and still our response is completely toothless.
Story in my paper this morning about a guy on his 11th, that's
eleventh, DUI... I'm like, at what point do we put someone's eyes out? At what point do we simply helicopter them 50 miles out to sea, and... drop them off.
"Match the severity of the consequences of the behaviour", very nicely put. Half-measures aren't going to do the job. As the 14th Earl of Gurney used to say: the ax must be laid to the root.
