drunk drivers will have their drivers license suspended for a period of time.
this is a negative punishment.
this is a negative reinforcement.
this is a positive reinforcement.
this is a positive punishment.

Explanation:

Positive punishment adds an aversive stimulus, while negative punishment removes a pleasant or desired stimulus. Here, the driver's license (a desired thing) is removed as a consequence of drunk - driving, which is negative punishment. Positive reinforcement adds a pleasant stimulus to increase behavior, and negative reinforcement removes an aversive stimulus to increase behavior, neither of which apply here.

Answer:

This is a negative punishment.
