Maybe it’s just your wording choice and I’m misreading, but it seems like you’re complaining that 2 years is too long to be punished for a DUI.

Be happy you didn’t kill anyone or yourself. Higher insurance premiums is a small price to pay for such a big mistake.

OP should be lucky he isn't in Canada. There a DUI can fetch one up to 10 years in prison.

Damn, Canada is really hardcore about that. I’m guessing the 10 years wouldn’t just be just for getting caught and has to involve some kind of collision?

Probably. But I know they are very strict about DUIs. I watched some episodes of the Canadian border security show on Pluto, and I know as a foreigner one can't even get into the country if you have a DUI. In order to gain entry one first has to contact the embassy and prove, some how, that they have been rehabilitated.
