Yeah, people on the Internet seriously freak out about things like driving drunk even if no one is hurt. The current de-facto legal interpretation is pretty good: drive as drunk as you want so long as you don't damage anything or hit a person.
Indeed, I think things like DUI checkpoints where you stop and question everyone passing through (or even those who turn around) are bad. There should be some observational evidence of poor driving or someone having reported you for negligently getting into and driving a vehicle when they know you've done significant drinking. Likewise I think the Build Back Better bill's provision to require all new cars to have some kind of anti-DUI sensors was an overstep.
