I still vote for drive-through (or, alternatively, drive-thru).  I've never
seen anyone call one a drive_through.  I see no value in consistency if it
means being consistently wrong.

The problem with access=destination is for roads where "the public has a
right of access".  Drive-thrus are generally located on privately owned land
where access is granted (implicitly) by permission of the owner.

Of course, access=private isn't really correct either, nor is
access=permissive.  Something like access=restrictive would be more
accurate.
