; while laws against drug use are laws against you doing things to yourself

Is that why we have DUI laws?

Driving while intoxicated dramatically increases your chances of getting into an accident, most car accidents are not single vehicle accidents, which means you are doing things to other people. Also remember there’s the whole “driving is a privilege” thing which allows them to put rules on the use of their roads.

Now you are just being silly, Alaska Wolf. We have DUI laws so that people under the influence of alcohol won’t try to drive a vehicle.

Should we outlaw alcohol?

The DUI law isn’t a prohibition from using the drug. It’s a prohibition on driving while using the drug.
