When Should Drunk Drivers lose their licenses?

The punishment for alcohol related offenses during 1970's and the early 1980's was limited to no more than a fine or a night in jail. With so many victims of such a preventable offense, many Canadians were left wondering whether a drunk driver should have the right to still get behind the wheel. The answer can be found by analyzing Canada's judicial system in its entirety, as well as the negative effects to the offender …

…well as not allowing for an offender to productively return to society. The federal government needs to punish offenders of drunk driving, but it is to the ultimate benefit of society to impose a "one strike" system whereby any second time offender would immediately lose their drivers license.
