Isn't that pretty much where we are already? You can't smoke in a bar and now you can't drink in a bar without worrying if you have too much (based on a comparatively subjective measurement designed to generate revenue). What's the point?

Better to stay home and drink and smoke until they make their way there too (in about what, a year or two?)

No, but would like to see people drink responsibly and not put other people lives in danger.

Having a couple drinks and some fun is fine but what they are talking about are the ones that don't know when to quit.

I have seen too much heartache caused by alcohol and have experienced it myself to have much sympathy for people who can't handle their booze or the consequences of their actions.

I agree, just make smoking and drinking illegal again just down all the bars and be done with. I wonder how many $'s these stings earn Texas? Think maybe the $'s had something to do with it?

We have far more reformers here than we once did; something in the water, perhaps.

This story has been up at least three times now and the neo-prohibitionists jump in around the first 10 posts with their hair shirts on fire.

Seems we are going from pro-active to pre-emptive in our zest to ward off evil spirits; about the only thing left is to take an oath of purity.
