I lived in the UK for the first 27 years of my life. Admitting to drinking and driving there, in my experience, elicited very strongly-voiced disapproval. And not just from some particular demographic - it was universal.
I moved to California in 2003. The day I went to WaMu to open a US bank account, the teller was annoyed it was raining, because she was going out drinking that night and would have to drive back "buzzed and in the rain" from SF to Mountain View. I was shocked, but unfortunately I can't say it's been an isolated occurrence here.
I live in the UK also, and while it is disapproved very strongly by lots of people, there are still plenty of people that drink drive. Amongst some generations, and within certain public houses, you'll find it's done on a nightly basis.
