I suppose it's good for them to do that.  Here, I don't think they do random
breath tests - I think the police would only stop a driver if they were
obviously driving irratically, posing potential danger to other drivers and
people around them.

I've never been in the habit of drinking alcoholic beverages.  I might only
have just a few drinks a year.  That's mainly because I've never found any
alcoholic beverages I really like, and most of the drinks I tried early on made
me feel sick, similar to having a cold. I think the types of drinks that make
me feel like that seem to be beer or similar (Mike's Hard Lemonade, etc.), and
other things like wine and liqueurs don't make me feel bad like that.  I've
just tended to shy away from alcoholic beverages in general.
