Post less.
Edit: now that you have updated your post to actually include information, I will assist you with typing something in to Google: Drunk driving in the United States

There's a mention of drunk driving and its legal consequences in one of Evelyn Waugh's books. I think it was Vile Bodies, and that was published in 1930.
I don't think they were looking for magic molecules or odors back then... it was more, "hey, that guy's drunk!"

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

Sounds about right, but even in rural areas you will still hear stories of cops finding a drunk driver and instead of an arrest they help them get home.

I think a quick google search with your topic question would yield some results

MS has no open container law.

In the US it was September 10th, 1910, England had their first arrest 13 years prior.

It has always been right. Drinking and driving is fine if you know you are under the limit. But it doesn’t take much gif most to get over the limit and some can drive fine. It’s getting into an accident while over the limit is what’s the bad part…..

Nothing like cleaning out the rural ditches after a half of fifth of Jack.

It wasn't a serious offense and there wasn't any discussion and PR about it until MADD in the 80s

I had that happen in 2004 and it wasn't in a rural area. Wasn't shite-faced or anything, just driving a conspicuous vehicle back from a bar after midnight.
Everything has become so much more systematized and bureaucratic now. Cops don't have much discretion anymore, which is kind of a shame.
