Yes, in this case it seems unfair but what if the guy wakes up, feels fine even though still impaired and drives away to kill somebody? If impaired here just do not have care and control of the vehicle.

I'm sorry but regardless of how the bureaucracy came to the idea that it is good to punish someone for trying to wait and sober-up it is still wrong.
