I second the idea of a drinking license.  For those who wanted both a
driver's license and a drinker's license, a mandatory class should be
established.  In the first session, students would be provided with enough
alcohol (based on body weight) to bring their BAC to .2% -- legally
drunk by a good margin.  They would be required to consume it over a half
hour period while operating a driving simulator ... one with LOUD alarms
for severe errors.  The alarms should have VERY unpleasant sounds.

In the second session, they would watch another group go through what
they did in the first class.

The only problem I see is that getting drunk is a somewhat hazardous
activity.  If someone were to be seriously injured or get seriously sick as
a result of this, who would pay??
