You have no actual knowledge of how a medical clear on a drunk patient works. An actually detox takes far longer than 3 days. Even 10. 21 days is the base for most.

The ideas expressed here have been attempted in Fairbanks. 

We had a detox center, over 80% of the people that used the center were back in the bottle within a week after leaving the system. They chose their addiction over clean living.

So until you are running a hospice to take care of these inebriates that choose not to stop drinking, how do you propose to stop it? This is an addiction problem to be sure, but the police should send criminals to a 10 day detox before jail? That is not going to help someone with a standing BAC of .7. They will still die if they do not get alcohol, and it gives an escape potential.

The hospital keeps 90proof alcohol on grounds for people that have a BAC so high they cannot live without a drink. They will never be sober again.
