need is not the correct yardstick to use when evaluating our rights, or what the right thing to do is.
You mixed (above) criteria that could only effect an individual negatively and criteria that could effect others negatively. In my opinion, your analytical abilities are poorly displayed. Stop hiding your intellect from us. We have so much to learn from you, if you only presented your argument logically. I assume you wouldn't want some DUI driver to crash into a relative you love and cherish. Perhaps, you left something out of your analysis; like your profit would mean little if someone close to you died due to a DUI driver?
Set made no indication that he believes that the governments right to use the force of law to limit risk applies only to one individual risking others, that it does not apply to self harm...so no.
Quote:No one needs to drink and then drive. It's simple enough to be provident and assure a safe ride, or to drink either at home or somewhere where it is convenient to sleep it off. The problem with Whackeye here is that he wants to link drinking and driving when there is no plausible reason to do so. The no-nonsense phrase used in radio advertising here is: "It's simple--if you drink, don't drive." No one needs to drive after drinking. If they have been drinking and want to go somewhere, with the only option being to drive themselves, they have already proven irresponsible.
I"ll bet, as Butterfly pointed out, dram shop law is sticking in Whackeye's craw
Your Lordship, in my opinion, as an Alpha Male, you have elegantly dismissed my point/argument. My analysis does include sorting criteria into those that only effect the individual and those that can effect others, since drinking does effect others, even if it is just from a disgusting breath.
Would I be correct, that as an entrepreneur in your locale, you might be a big fish in a little pond, so to speak? That can make one over-estimate one's intelligence, what with hired help practically hopping to attention like Gurkhas in the British Army. In my opinion, your postings might be reflective of having a "high horse," when many others do not? Yours in Humility, Your Lordship.
