Great, now the wife has to take a bus to work because her husband is a drunk.
A better solution for the repeat offender would to fine them $XXX and/or the 
car. $XXX would vary according to the resources of the defendent and should
be high enough to convince them that what they are doing is wrong.

(Then again, If the wife knew that she could lose the car because of her 
 husband then maybe she would stop him...)
