My grandfather was taken out by a drunk driver back in 1971. Head on between his Vauxhall Viva and a Lesabre. He never had a chance.

Agreed.

*Flame Suit On*

Videos like this are pointless.  The behaviour of the blotto people depicted wouldn't change one bit.  Increased enforcement would.

they make a strong point but you're right in a way.
I think it's a strong message for all of us that won't D&D

but i know, the person who should watch and learn would think it's funny.

Not sure about that. I think stats are pointing to steady downward trends in DUI. Local cops claim its the increase in being socially unacceptable to d&d vs. enforcement that's creating change. Relentless MADD et al advertising contributes to changing sentiments.

That's what i'm getting at.  With an over the top video like this, who are they hoping to be affected by it? 
It's not going to change the behaviour of someone that gets loaded to the point they can't walk straight and then gets into their car,  which I assume who this video is targeting.

IMO of course.
