Well call me a smart-a$$, but I think you're a dumb-a$$ if you believe young people are going to sit in their homes and drink and never end up getting into a car to drive it! You're not so old that you shouldn't remember doing stupid things when you were younger!

I'm just saying I'd rather err on the side of protecting innocent victims from immature, irresponsible people!

Oh, that we could outlaw stupidity....

But we can't!!!! And any attempts to try usually just take freedoms from law-abiding, non-stupid people. After all, stupid, irresponsible, immature kids are going to drink NO MATTER WHAT the law says. Just like with guns -- if we outlawed guns tomorrow, only criminals would have guns. Would that make you feel safer?

By your logic we should ban alcohol, since even older people might drink and then get into a car.

Perhaps then we should ban skydiving, because these "immature, irresponsible people" might land on someone.
