According to CTV's W5, drunk drivers kill 1200 Canadians every year. It's the leading criminal cause of death in Canada. If you accept that terrorist attacks are criminal acts, this means that drunk driving is worse than terrorism, at least quantitatively speaking.
To put this in perspective, in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, 24 Canadians were killed. (I will assume for now that the attacks were not a false-flag operation directed by Dick Cheney but were actually committed by bona-fide Islamic terrorists directed by Osama Bin Laden.) If you do the math, almost 24 Canadians are killed by drunk drivers every week.*
If you are addicted to alcohol, you might try to convince me that terrorist attacks are not criminal acts but rather acts of war. That way, you can use the apples-and-oranges semantic routine to duck my comparisons, and thereby protect your beloved drink.
* 1200 Canadians per year / 51 weeks = 23.59 ≈ 24 Canadians per week
