Should we miss people who get involved in the wrong crowd? And how can we solve it

Law in Brazil isn't strong or harsh enough (even more when talking about how it is applied).

We are having a big struggle between freedom to consume and total ban, I would say it is very polarized at the moment.

Users rarely go to jail, they at most will lose their drug. There is a quantity depending of the drug that makes it considered for consumption or resale.

It isn't illegal to be near someone using drugs. But more likely than not a group with a lot of heavy users can be framed by the police and you being around can be considered accessory so why risk yourself?

Yes there is rehab. But to drive under influence is a felony besides being against the traffic law. So if you are sober, have a license but allowed someone under influence to drive you are guilty (so fine and lose of points or even license) of it even if there is no incident and just a police officer made your car pull over and tested the driver. If someone was killed by the driver under influence it could go much worse.

Ignoring we have a 0 alcohol policy (so even a licor chocolate would be considered driving under influence), why would you being sober allow someone stone drunk to drive the car and perhaps get you killed in an accident?

Your country's laws on driving under the influence seem much more strict than what we have. I don't think a DUI (driving under the influence) is considered a felony in the US. We also don't have a zero tolerance policy unless the person drinking is under the legal age. This all probably depends on the area you live, but at least where I live (near Chicago, IL), the legal limit is 0.08% alcohol present in the blood, which is commonly equated to one drink per hour.

Hopefully neither of us finds themself in a situation like the one you described, but any time you choose to hop in the car, you are always at risk of being the victim of a drunk driver in another vehicle.

Yes our law is very strict, to the point of being ludicrous.

And yes let's hope we never get a drunken driver crashing on us. And of course it is quite easy to say to someone very drunken that you aren't going to tag along as passenger. But to lose your license because someone had a licor chocolate and you didn't know....
