Deterrence maybe? I have many friends who like to drink at dinner, but refrain from doing so when they know they will have to drive home afterwards. Without this law, they will all be driving home whilst intoxicated. If even one in ten of them kills someone, then that is one tragedy too many.
The increased possibility of being brought in for vehicular manslaughter is deterrence enough.

I know I'll not tolerate trampling on civil liberties for "deterrence", when I'm a citizen.
