10. Yep they should.
Death by a drunk driver is as violent as any other homicide. Most people over the age of 5 know it is illegal to drink and drive, therefore it is a willful decision they make to break the law and put others in danger.

After jail they should have to get a medical release signed by a medical doctor just like anyone else with a disease that could affect their driving skills. Tried getting something like this passed in my state, unfortunately it failed. Doctors said they would not take responsibility for drunk drivers future actions by signing a medical release that they were "cured" or under treatment that would stop them from repeating their actions and safe.
