Well, it worked for Sweden. Their driving limit is .02, and the recommended penalty for driving with a 1.0 (even if you don't hit someone) is 2 years in prison. It's pretty Draconian, but they do have less than half the alcohol-related fatalities we do (measured per miles driven, so it takes into account their smaller population,) and that's even with a drinking age of 18. On the other hand, there obviously still are some number of drunk drivers in their country, even with the harsh laws.
