This isn't a bad idea, though the honor system doesn't work all that well. Peer pressure would help here somewhat. And who is going to pay for the breathalizers then? The car companies (then we all pay when we buy a new car)? The government (maybe I should tack another $10 onto my taxes for this one)?

I've never had a drop of alchohol in my life, and I'd be seriously annoyed to have to go out of my way to live my life just because there are people that do drink.
