How did we get from, "smokers who are staying home to drink," to, "laid off workers?"

The workers who served drinks to the smokers were laid off because the smokers stopped drinking and then driving home.

So you're acknowledging that smoking bans cause unemployment. But I still don't see anything that proves the claim that smokers in bars cause more drunk driving charges. At least that's what I'm reading when I read, "Less drinkers in bars, less DWI."

Not all drinkers smoke and not all smokers drink. I don't see the two related. Driving drunk is a universally dumb act to take -no matter whether the person smokes or not.

You aren't suggesting that smokers are dumb, therefore they are more likely to drive drunk, are you?

Yep, because no one is throwing parties at their homes and no one is driving to get more alcohol. Nope, none of this is happening.

What color is the sand when you get past the layer I can see?
