Deal!
But I have come around over the years on DUI laws. You ARE creating a significant risk to others when you drink and drive. So I have no problem criminalizing that. Same with any drugs and driving.
So while alcohol possession and use is rightly legal, it is properly a crime to get behind the wheel under its influence. Similarly, weed, crack, coke, heroin, oxycotin, etc. possession and use should be rightly legal, but it should be a crime to get behind the wheel under their influence.
