Definitely. Making it illegal would make it inherently harder to get, which means there will be fewer people drinking.

Dude... you clearly have no idea how prohibition works. Weed is illegal and it is easier for an underage kid to get weed than it is to get alcohol.

Making something illegal DOES NOT make it harder fore irresponsible people to get. Plus, it encourages binge usage, which is what accounts for most drunk driving deaths.

The accidents caused by drunk driving aren't the people who are even remotely close to the legal limit of .08, but people who are typically extremely plastered. The problem is a lot deeper than just making something illegal, because Prohibition proved that didn't work.
