As a person who almost never drinks alcohol (that stuff tastes nasty) an alcohol-lock would just be a big annoyance.

It could also catch drugs other than alcohol. Or you could do near-infrared spectroscopy built into the gear lever (this is already being pushed by the NHTSA, and will probably be in cars in a few years). Or it could even have a selective alcohol-lock using current-gen tech that only triggers a check if alcohol is detected in the air circulating in the car.
