Yes but never, ever again.
Interesting statistic - In 2004, 42,636 people were killed in traffic crashes in the US. 16,694 (39%) of those victims were killed in alcohol related crashes. Compare this to 1982 when 60% of all fatalities were alcohol related and I guess we're moving in the right direction.
The percentage of alcohol related fatalities to all traffic fatalities hasn't gone up year-over-year since 1991. This is fairly good, but I'd still say that 39% of 2004 fatalities were needless and preventable.

My mother was killed by a drunk driver on Oct. 19, 2003 around 3:00 PM. She would have turned 60 on the 20th.
