It occurred to me that UK law already has this covered. The offence is
not *driving* while drunk but *being in charge of a vehicle* while
drunk. I'd expect anyone trying this in the UK to get an immediate
driving ban if not a custodial sentence. AI looks sure to create some
interesting case law. I'd be quite happy to see a few "hanging judges"
hear cases like this one.
