Everyone knows that if you get blind drunk and go for a drive it could kill or maim you, it doesn't stop people from doing it. The reality of being bashed or castrated or executed will not stop people from behaving in this way. The only people that would sit up and listen are the people that would not do these things in the first place.
Taking peoples licences away won't stop the idiots, locking them up will but only until they are released, then most of them will continue to risk themselves and the rest of us. If we execute every person found guilty of driving 50kph over the limit or being above a specific blood alcohol level, there will be more to fill their place. These ********* behave this way because they don't consider the consequences the way the rest of us do, the threat of anything you can think of won't stop them.
The only way to stop this type of behaviour is by being proactive, not reactive.
