OK....

I did not say that these people are drinking and driving.  In fact it seems to be the opposite, even though they are very lax on their laws.

You seem to think that without the current laws that our drinking and driving rates will increase.  That the laws and the licensing is preventing deaths and without them more people will drive drunk and we would have more accidents and more deaths.

I disagreed with you and provided my own experience.  I have been to countries where drinking is legal, these countries have very lax laws regarding driving, to the point that all you might need is just a picture taken and no real testing.

Now without the strict licensing and the ability to drink and law isn't strictly enforced.  They don't have a lot of drunk driving deaths.  They have some, but not a huge increase as you seem to think we would have without the regulation.

While stationed in Korea, I had to do a bit of driving.  Now, I am/was licensed in the US, but the Korean government had no way of knowing or verifying my ability.  I didn't even have to show that I had a license when getting a vehicle.  Even then, I still couldn't read their traffic signs and just drove as defensively as possible.

So no, I am not saying everyone is just driving around drunk...*chuckles*... I am just saying that there doesn't seem to be an increase of drunk driving related instances in my opinions.  

I think it's hard to look at other countries for a comparison on this regard. The attitude towards alcohol in this country is a bit unique and more about excess than it is in other cultures, at least from my understanding of it.
