Better yet:  If _YOU_ drink and drive, then _YOU_ have to pay full price, not
everybody born after 11 May 1977.  They can raise the fines, (the sky's the
limit, free money.) and they can increase the licence revocation period
(again, no limit) and mandate a zillion hours of community service (free
labour) but then politicians that get caught would have to pay.  So instead,
they raise the DRINKING AGE and make somebody else pay.  Fuck democracy, buy
for minors.
