It's useful to frame it that way -- the law is about doing two legal things, together. Forcing violators to stop driving can seriously damage their lives (remove their ability to earn a living, see friends/loved ones, etc.), but hey, they're still allowed to get drunk! It's seems in retrospect like needlessly cruel punishment, when "force violators to stop drinking" is the other option.
