Cities use varied tactics to curb drunken driving
Across the United States cities test experimental programs to reduce drunk driving fatalities. Portland convicts daily drinkers with a juice cocktail that makes them ill if they drink. San Antonio uses videotaped sobriety stops and specialized patrols. Oklahoma City hires extra officers, prosecutors, and probation staff to tackle alcohol related crime. Government spending totals 62 million dollars for four years to boost enforcement, court efficiency, and rehabilitation. Officials claim early data show reduced deaths, while critics call the approach amateurish.
