I don't think you're right about that. Most of my research does show differnces between common US sanctions for drunk driving and the rest of the world but I didn't find any that went any where near as far as you described and the differences were relatively small. In fact our laws tended to be right in line with the rest of the world.
But I agree we should have sanction stougher on the order of 5x what they are now. We should have a basic no tolerance policy.
