Alcohol is also a factor on the pedestrian side, not just the driver side. This has not been addressed. It is still a relevant factor on both sides. Yes, vehicle size/design is another factor.

What is there to address? Unless you enforce that people only drink in private homes there will always be pedestrians who've had a few. Walking is probably the safest mode of transportation when you're impaired.

Actually, many places have a drunk in public law because walking is not the safest thing when impaired. Taking a taxi or Uber is safer.

Absolutely true, but what are you proposing? I’d propose banning most vehicles from city centers where people congregate.

Vehicle size and weight will always be a relevant factor as long as people and vehicles exist in the same spaces.

You could propose serving limits, which would help limit drunk driving, reduce drunk pedestrian deaths, and potentially reduce alcohol related health issues. Or enforce drunk in public laws.

Just as vehicle size and weight will always be a factor, so too will alcohol, drugs, phones, etc.
