The law happens to good people, and many laws I do not agree with, but things like this, with alcohol, are how I'd like to see all drugs handled. What you're doing to yourself is your own business, and you're legally allowed to consume alcohol, but when you do something because of it that endangers others, in this case, driving intoxicated, the law should step in to do something about it. Giving her probation and suspending her license sounds very reasonable to me. But now that she has proven that she will not live up to the terms of her sentence on her own, so she needs to be put somewhere for a while where the government can keep an eye on her until she learns how serious this is. Though I'll concede that house arrest would have been just as effective. This is how it should be for everyone.
