Really? You have an interesting life. I do not fit into any of your categories and oppose the by the drink because too many do not have the brains to stop at one or two. Then they get in the car to go where ever they may be going and too high of a percentage of them kill innocent men, woman and children.
Driving thousands of miles and having seen what drunks do on the road has been a revelation. The first thing that should have been done is take away the vehicle and licenses of every drunk or those with a so called buss on who are driving impaired. Have you seen the recent ads on the television about driving just under the legal limit? Have you heard on the news how so many people are being killed by drunks?
I wonder how many would drink if the drink did not have a deadening affect on the brain. For those who feel a need for it, they can do it at home and not bring it to others to suffer because of their need to drink. Oops there was an error there. There are those who do suffer at home from a drunk. But they have the option to leave.
