Hmmm.
What if instead of drunk driving, the accident that killed your kids involved distracted driving? Say, driver was texting? Eating a hamburger?
What if the driver was just driving 10mph over the speed limit? 15mph?
What if the driver fell asleep at the wheel?
What if the driver was driving on bald tires and a blowout precipitated the accident? What if they were only 95% worn out? 80%?

There are different levels of culpability. Drunk driving is negligent and bad, but I hope we can all agree it is not as bad as willful murder. Five years in jail is an incredibly severe punishment already - that's a quarter of this kid's life to that point.
I don't buy the revenge angle. We can expect more from people.
