Should the penalties for drunken drivers be reduced?

Many drunken drivers do not result in accidents. Sober drivers cause twice as many fatalities but they do not carry the same penalties as drunk driving. If a serious accident occurs, then jail is appropriate, as it should be for all other traffic offenses. Otherwise, it should not be considered as a criminal offense.
