I guess since I never took an illegal drug, I find no reason for drugs to be legal or for people to get high.

Is drunk driving a sufficient reason to ban the drug alcohol?

Yes, it can be argued that way in a legislative body or court.. Are you now happy I answered your question? and I bet you do not like the answer. and yes, I do like a drink at a party and find no need to hang out at bars and drink until impairment. Nor do I ever feel a need to get high on illegal substances. I enjoy life the way it is. And don't want some drunk driver or pot or crack smoking person to end someone's life from driving while impaired. There is no right to get high or to get drunk, nor is there a right to arrive to work drunk or high increasing the rates of injury and high insurance costs for the company owner who has to pay increased costs for workmen's comp.

You didn't ... an answer would be "yes" or "no" not a Clintonesque "it can be argued that way." Will you ever actually answer the question?

There is no right to get high or to get drunk,

There is a natural right to do anything that violates nobody else's natural rights. Getting high or drunk does not in and of itself violate anybody else's natural rights.

nor is there a right to arrive to work drunk or high increasing the rates of injury and high insurance costs for the company owner who has to pay increased costs for workmen's comp.

I agree with that; employers should be free to hire and fire at will.
