And it still does not deter people from driving drunk...

I know they have limits and that they do not work. People where saying that the state passed the no smoking law to protect people and I was saying that it sould be the bars decision. I just used the example that if the state passed laws limiting how much alcolhol they could sell to people it would reduce drinking and driving which would be for the good of the people. It was just an example of just one law they could pass to so call protect people and we could list one after another. I feel people are picking sides based on if they like the law or not and not if its the goverments role to pass such laws. If it limited something they liked to do their opinion would be the opposite and their opinions on goverments role to protect us from everything would change.
