IIRC, your opinion on smoking laws was that your vices were your own
business and no one else's, even if they might bug somebody else and
affect public health. Why are your opinions on drinking laws any
different? I tend to believe that it's best that I get to decide what
I do and don't put into my body. The same goes for anybody else. If
somebody's 15 year old kid wants to get smashed on Bourbon, it's not
my problem and I don't really care.
