So as long as they are just a little buzzed it's no big deal?

I think that's the problem. It doesn't take much alcohol to impair your ability to function at 100%. When driving a car you need to be at 100% (most folks should probably be at 120%). Consequently, it only makes sense that you shouldn't drink and drive.

I don't see how anyone rational and intelligent can conclude otherwise.

I also think this needs to get strict because drunk driving and the results of it are rampant. I don't have any personal experience with loss due to drunk driving other than having driven when I shouldn't a few times when I was younger and being lucky to have not gotten caught.
