摘要：2011年2月5日审议通过并公布的《中华人民共和国刑法修正案(八)》正式规定了“醉驾入刑”。在肯定和期待通过醉酒驾车行驶写入刑法，发挥刑法的惩治功能的同时，我们也要清楚地认识到，刑法虽然能较好地惩治醉酒驾车行为，但刑法关于醉酒驾车的法律规定还需进一步完善和规范，需要对“醉驾入刑”与现行犯罪刑罚体系的融合进行科学的设计和安排，但刑法的滞后性、中国人喝酒的历史文化、法律意识的缺失也是我们整治醉酒驾车不可忽视的因素，所以要彻底消除醉酒驾车的行为，需要汲取各种有益的法律法规，健全我国的立法，进行综合治理。

So in order to thoroughly eliminate drunk driving behavior, we must learn from all kinds of useful laws and regulations, improve the legislation of our country, and carry on the comprehensive governance.
