Not in America, no. The reason being that people aren't allowed to legally drink until age 21. The drunk driving fatality rate is lower in countries that have alcohol fully integrated into the social culture, including families. I grew up having beer at dinner with my family (not as much as the adults though, obviously). By the time I was legal drinking age I knew my limit like the back of my hand. Most people have to go through the whole alcoholic rite of passage once they turn 21, and they start learning their limits at a time in their lives when they are being given way more responsibility to deal with, which makes the drinking dangerous. Like with guns, teaching young people responsible alcohol use goes a long way to avoiding accidents.
I agree wholeheartedly with drunk driving laws. However, activists like MADD have driven the State to encroach upon people's freedoms far too steeply, in the name of "safety". They can call in search warrants for you car on the side of the road now, with no appeal. And people who are found guilty of drunk driving, their lives are ruined. Punishments are not proportional to the crimes themselves.
When you consider that people drive while on prescription medications and other alterants that aren't detectable with breathalyzers, the way alcohol laws are enforced is pretty tyrannical.
