They do it anyway - maybe because they’re drunk or something.

They do it because we live in a car dependent society. There is no other option. People who drink regularly (which people will do) can’t afford to pay for an Uber every day.

Putting people in jail does absolutely nothing for the fundamental problem of car dependency.
