...grandfather of anti-alcohol legislation is Scandinavia, which has reined in schnapps-happy drivers for years-with mixed results. Swedes are taught from the cradle up that booze and an auto do not mix, yet one in five drivers still risks arrest by taking the wheel after drinking. About 7,000 a year go for one to twelve months to special prisons, including one outside Stockholm that is known as "the country club" because of the high social caliber of its inmates. In Denmark, where the number of arrests of drunken drivers has been increasing sharply, police are introducing breath...

Unlike many drivers, who make a fetish of braking and shifting at precisely the same points each time around a track...
