Because the MADDWomen have had their way, it has punishment way out of proportion with its seriousness.

According to a study done by the state of Colorado, about 55% of DUI offenders are problem drunk drivers - they just haven't been caught all the other times they drank and drove.
So, even taking that for granted, the other 45% are just average Joes who got nailed for one beer too many (which could be just one beer)
