I know way too many college kids who have no qualms about going to the bar, getting wasted, and driving home. Even to the point of assertively telling my gf at the time (who was only 20, but was allowed to drink at a bar where she had friends working) to, "Just do it, don't worry about. I've been so wasted before driving past cops yelling at them to pull me over and they never do."

I also had a roommate from Michigan who said, "Dude, I would never drive home drunk from the bars up there like I do here in Texas. They have checkpoints and they don't mess around."

As weary as I am of the whole Nazi Germany feel of checkpoints, I personally believe that they would decrease the amount of drunk drivers. Just based on my experiences, not necessarily on "facts". Of course they could also end up being horribly abused, as most government programs tend to be.
