The problem isn't legislating common sense, it's enforcing it.

Saying that people drive drunk, or drive or fly drunk too

being given sobriety checks when they were pulled over. How often does
that happen with pilots?

If alcohol were a factor in only 1% of automobile accidents, there
probably wouldn't be any DWI laws. That's the average statistic for GA.

It's around 50% for automobile accidents and near 0% for aircraft accidents.
