>and like to drink.

I actually wonder how big a factor changes around drink driving are. Certainly in Australia (where I am from) blood alcohol limits have decreased during my lifetime and police enforcement has massively increased.

It is now reasonably common on a friday or saturday night in particular to have police block off various choke points and even multilane freeways during peak "coming home from a night out" times breathalyzing and even drug testing a huge proportion of drivers coming through.

That has made driving an increasingly unattractive proposition during precisely the time (friday and saturday night) that owning a car used to be most appealing for people in their late teens and early 20s.
