Which leaves three choices for folks who drink...
1 - Drink at home only
2 - Live within easy walking distance of a bar
3 - Always have a sober driver handy to pick your sorry butt up and schlep you home (or to your next destination)
The idea of responsible drinking, of course, goes right out the window... but that's no different from what we do with respect to other drugs anyway. Since we're already settled on a police state, might as well have an egalitarian police state.
Always have a sober driver

Anyone who drinks away from walking distance of their home is "sorry"? Anyone who does so isn't sober?
It reads that way even if you didn't intend to say that.
It truly amazes me that we have completely abandoned the concept of responsible adult behaviour. Consuming an adult beverage with dinner while out on a special occasion will now likely land you in the hoosegow.
While we are busy persecuting social drinkers, how many others are on the road impaired with the physician prescribed meds for colds, flu, heart, arthritis...???
What happened to holding someone to account after they have caused someone harm or committed a crime? Now we just say 'don't have that beer with your pizza tonight or we'll have to arrest you when you drive home!' It's completely ridiculous.
