Here's what I don't understand...if you can't drive after having something like one beer, why on Earth are bars still open? I mean, couldn't cops just sit outside of the neighborhood bar and arrest everyone as they get into their car?

I got arrested for DUI one night. It seems that the cops were stopping every driver on that particular stretch of sidewalk. I got off when my lawyer proved that this was profiling.

That's what known as "virtual prohibition". Like the original drug warriors like Harry Anslinger that used "Reefer Madness" hysteria to whip up fears of black jazz musicians having sex with white women that were plied with the devil weed to justify outlawing marijuana in the 1930's, today's MADD harpies use the unfortunate images of highway carnage to push a renewed alcohol prohibition. They don't even bother with the fig leaf of attempting to pass a Constitutional Amendment, like the original temperance movement used to codify Prohibition - it's unnecessary because the precedent has been set with the unconstitutional War on (some) Drugs.
