Abstract:

This paper discusses a family of policies that aim at separating potential drunk drivers (heavy drinkers) from vehicle access. They assume that the persistent offender is an unusually heavy drinker, whether because of addiction and alcoholism or more generally because drinking lies at the center of his social existence. This approach accepts the difficulty of deterring potential offenders as well as reforming them. It attempts to incapacitate them in a less extreme, and therefore cheaper, way than incarceration, by rendering vehicle access more difficult.
