It's just not that. What business does government have in telling this or that establishment that they can or cannot serve alcohol or cigarettes? As long as adults are using them, any establishment should be able to allow patrons to partake of them.

And anyone should be able to start a taxi service in New York City, too. But, there are good reasons for limited restrictions on bars, which I do support (for example, zoning restrictions, location relative to church or school, etc.). Or, if a community of like minded citizens wishes their town to remain dry (or free from other adult entertainment), they should be allowed that freedom.
