DUI/DWI has always been a thing since I started driving but wasn't heavily enforced, open container and stiffer penalties started appearing in La in the early 80s

Similar timeline to Commiefornia.
I believe Nancy's "Just Say No" campaign had a lot to do with it.

Yep. It's prolly been illegal since the 20's or 30's, but wasn't heavily enforced until the 80's or so. The NHTSA didn't start tracking drunk driving fatalities until 1982. The NHTSA claims that (under 21) drunk driving deaths have decreased 83% since 1982. So progress has been made and is proof that stricter law enforcement activity works. (Contrary to what dem politicians will say).
But that's only for young people. Under 21 deaths only account for 9% of all DUI fatalities.
