Well not exactly drink "driving", but rather drinking while the "driver" is being driven.
Driverless cars it seems are getting very close:-

A couple of years ago I heard a talk on this topic. The speaker was discussing the concept making traffic control much more efficient because vehicle computers could talk to each other, arranging the order by which cars went through roundabouts, as an example.
I imagined that one from the perspective of passengers in cars approaching a roundabout from four different directions at a speed of 100 kph. The talking computers could have the vehicles cross each other's paths within a thousandth of a second of hitting each other. Outsiders might find the view spectacular, watching all these streams of vehicles crossing each other's paths and missing by a bee's whisker. But for passengers inside the vehicles it would be terrifying.
Best to make these vehicles without windows.
* The comments are interesting too.
