Compared to texting while driving, drunk driving is actually quite safe. Car and Driver conducted a study that compared unimpaired driving, drunk driving (conducted in a safe area), and sober driving while reading (then separately while writing) a text. The results are as follows:

If we're going to lock people up, ruin lives, and treat drunk drivers like lepers, we might as well do the same to texters. Or let everyone free, as it doesn't say anywhere in the Constitution that drunk driving or texting or even drunk texting is illegal. It is the supreme law of the land, and any laws contrary to what is says are unconstitutional.
