I've had two different friends killed over two different decades by drunken drivers. In each case the drunk driver was FAR from their first offense and one of them even had a suspended drivers license but that didn't stop them. Prison time to get them sober BEFORE they kill someone is the only answer I could come up with, but judges never seem to think it is a problem, even after they kill someone. Neither of them got any significant sentence (just a few years) for literally murdering someone, it was like the law sees the other person on the road as taking their own chances or something just for driving.
