Logically, the government has every right to stop you from possibly violating the rights of another human being by ending their life because you think you're a great driver after 5 shots of vodka (which is impossible, proven by scientists). Maybe if DUI deaths didn't make up the majority of auto-related deaths every year, I would agree with you, but instead, it looks like you just like to condone murder, because god forbid we take away your freedom to put someone's life in danger.

Drunk driving laws are draconian, do nothing to eliminate drunk driving

Sure people will be hurt by drunk drivers and druggies, but then again are they not already? See the logic?
If not, then you may want to take a class in argumentative reasoning. It helped me to see the fallacies in a lot of other people's logic and reasoning skills.

By the way, that is a fallacy in logical reasoning as well. Appeal to emotions. All you're doing with emotions is distorting the facts to make you seem like you have a stronger base. A true orator does not need emotional reasoning (weak reasoning) in order to win a truthful debate.

Have you ever thought people are just getting better at driving drunk!?
Originally posted by SeitlerUnless someone is pulled over, or crashes, how can you be certain they are not drunk? I've seen many people drive better drunk than some of the people, I now refuse to ride with, that are sober.

Thanks for spoiling my otherwise ordinary evening mnemeth1. I'm EXTREMELY upset by your 'political' attitude to this serious subject.
Now all I can think about is my friends mother washing away her daughters brain matter from a parking lot after the police had left. I'm really sorry, but this thread offends me so intensely that I have to flag it for deletion.
Murder is murder.
Drunk driving is not a crime.
Murdering someone with your vehicle is most certainly a crime.
