    Nope. It has to do with personal autonomy. I’m not your boss, I shouldn’t get to tell YOU what you can do to yourself. Period.

    Wait, this way every **laws **is useless then, I am not your boss, I shouldn’t get to tell YOU that you cannot drive while drunk.

      Except you forget about the whole “as long as it doesn’t directly affect others” thing.

      Or, more likely, you intentionally ignored it in order to score some “gotcha” for Internet points.

        I followed on your steatment. If I forgot it, you also forgot it.

        But my point stand, by the traffic code you cannot drive drunk also if you don’t affect anyone else on the road.
        Generally it is not that you can do something that is illegal thinking that it is ok as long as it doesn’t affect others.
