A lawmaker in Oklahoma proposed a DUI law that would prohibit those convicted of DUI from purchasing alcohol for a time period to be determied by a judge. After a DUI conviction, the offender would be given replacement identification that would say "Alcohol Restricted," meaning they would not be allowed to purchase alcoholic beverages. Furthermore, it would also be a crime to purchase alcohol for a DUI offender under such restriction.
The purpose of the law is clear: to prevent those convictred of DUI from drinking alcohol under any circumstance for a period of time. Such a DUI law may prove difficult to enforce. The law will, in effect, require everyone to be "carded" every time they want to purchase alcohol. What if you were to give a DUI offender a drink at a pary you are hosting? The DUI bill does not address this issue. There are also religious implications for those who take communion. The goal of such a DUI law is likely to reduce the number of repeat DUI offenders. However, its a law that may be too easy to circumvent to be effective. We will follow the proposed DUI law and let you know if it passes.
