"I think what you are wishing for is a return to Prohibition."

That is a simply ridicules leap in 'logic'. Put the bottle down. Back away.

I have no problem, however, with government prohibiting many actions. Rape, murder, theft, abortion - many things "offend" me. Get real - are you trying to tell me you have a "right" to drive drunk?

"Driving drunk" is a thoughtcrime. You haven't actually done anything to anyone other than violate a government-dictated "convention".

Now, if you run over somebody because you're drunk - well, now, you've done something...
