“Almost everything you do during the course of a day “affects” somebody - if you hold that all those actions are properly subject to government regulation, you’re no conservative. “
That is true. If a butterfly flaps its wings in Peru, there’s an earthquake in China, so to speak. We all affect each other, in positive and negative ways, purposefully and unintentionally, all day long.
So the question is, when is it legitimate to interfere with someone else’s behavior. There’s the basic idea, you can swing your fist until it touches my face.
Liberals might say, you can’t swing your fist at all, unless you have a permit and the government gives you a glove, and the government can swing maces and smash faces, but you have to ask permission to use your fist for anything but shadow boxing in a legal area.
Libertarians might say, you can swing that fist. You can stand at my property line, swing it at me every day when I come get my mail, curse and follow me, naked. Until and if your fist makes contact with my nose, you are within your rights.
Conservatives might say, you can swing that fist. Swing it at home, swing it as you walk, box professionally, pound your desk for emphasis, threaten with it if someone is threatening you. But don’t menace me with it. Me or my kids or any other innocent people. You don’t have the right to menace me.
A person who deliberately makes himself irrational or in a stupor is a menace. They have no right to do that.
You have yet to present any evidence that being irrational or in a stupor due to alcohol while in one's home is against any law. Do you support making drunkenness at home illegal?
