The Prohibitionists are getting bolder and bolder.

If they were really concerned about impaired drivers and highway accidents, injuries, and deaths, they'd be advocating stringent tests on reaction time (to get a license) and vision (to get a license). They'd also be vigorously lobbying for laws about cell phone usage, conversations between the driver and passengers, eating and drinking beverages while driving (not demon alcohol containing, of course), radios with buttons, arguments with spouses, stress levels, fatigue levels, blood sugar levels, and anything else that might impair or distract the driver, take two hands off the wheel, or take eyes off the road. And they'd want laws with punitive punishments when driving under any of these conditions. They'd be advocating that people with medical conditions that might interfere with their ability to drive should not get licenses.

But, they are not, of course, because the real target is 'demon alcohol'.

"If they were really concerned about impaired drivers and highway accidents, injuries, and deaths, they'd be advocating stringent tests on reaction time (to get a license) and vision (to get a license)."

I support that fully. Blue hairs NEED tested! OH and I require Valid proof of ID too on that note ;)

"They'd also be vigorously lobbying for laws about cell phone usage"

Some places have seen those laws already, more need them. I support them too.

"might impair"

Are you saying that acohol is not proven to impair? Interesting useof the word "might".

"They'd be advocating that people with medical conditions that might interfere with their ability to drive should not get licenses. "

I do.

I still do not advocate prohibition of alcohol.
