The issue isn't 1 beer, I'm realistic enough to know 1 beer wouldn't cause a problem, it's the fact that with such a law in place people will abuse it and pretty soon 1 beer becomes 1 handle of vodka for some people. I agree with your logic about the absorption, believe me I do, but if such a law existed, do you think the general FSA public can handle that kind of responsibility? Liberal thinking would be to make ignition interlocks mandatory on ALL vehicles from the factory. View Quote I'm glad its not happening, but can you imagine a crazy world where an anti 2a argued that we need to ban everyone from having (insert scary gun/accessory) because there are a few that we cannot trust with the responsibility. |

If its legal to drink and carry a gun, as long as you are not intoxicated. Then I don't see why you can't drink and drive, as long as you are not intoxicated.

Quoted:
You're being ridiculous I am talking about coffee impairing someones ability to drive When you can show me that coffee causes impairment of a drivers functioning as alcohol does, we can talk about a need to limit coffee Til then, blaming coffee because the driver reached for a cup of it in the cupholder isn't the coffees fault View Quote Coffee is statistically more dangerous than any other beverage, including beer (which would presumably behave the same as a can of soda; I don't know. Sometimes that 5% alcohol content makes canned beverages do crazy things). The coffee is hot, and spills lead to collisions. It happens all the time. A ban on hot coffee, or a regulation limiting the maximum serving temperature to say a maximum of 110*F, would deffinitely save a few lives if people were to obey that law. We have laws against cell phone use. Why not laws prohibiting the consumption of food or beverages while driving? Cop sees you eating a cheeseburger, $100 ticket. Revenues would go up, and you might save a life or two. But obviously the place to start is coffee, since it's statistically the most dangerous. We've already made the point that the physical act of drinking a beer causes bad driving, so why not the physical act of drinking other things? If your metric is that the drug CAN cause impairment, regardless of how much of a dose is actually in the body, then caffeine is far more dangerous than alcohol. Just a few grams of it can be deadly. Go drink ten espressos and report back how well you can drive with heart palpitations. |

I think road beers are still pretty common in rural areas. Fuck the nanny-staters. They have ruined the country.

Here in Texas open container was legal until the Federal Government was going to take away the federal highway funds. Yes, memories. I remember as a young buck being reamed out by a LEO for a half empty case of beer in the back of my truck in a public park. Oh he was pissed off. Told me he could give me a ticket for littering because he saw a half empty box, so the cans must have been discarded in the woods we were in... Then asked complemented me on my nice '66 Chevy and asked if I could make it home without damaging it. There was another one where everyone in the truck through their freshly opened "road beer" under the seat when being pulled over (everything was manual, choke, LIGHTS..). When the popo opened my door, beer rushed out like in the "buzzed driving" commercials. Took my ream out, gave an affirmative to the aforementioned question, went home. Early 90's How in the world did I ever make it out of there alive? |

So, just as an aside to the whole gun control thing... You know how some gun control proponents claim that simply having a gun makes people violent? That the mere presence of a gun at all makes people want to pick it up and shoot people they get angry at? Road rage, noisy neighbors, that kind of thing? And, because such a claim is obviously nonsense, we tell them, you know, look, you're just projecting. You're recognizing perhaps that you have a weakness towards impulsive violence, or that you're afraid that you might, and because you can't consciously place blame on yourself, you're simply assuming that everyone thinks like you do. And because you wouldn't trust yourself with a gun, ergo, nobody else can be trusted either. But, just because you point out somebody's defense mechanism and logical fallacy doesn't automatically cure them. In fact, it probably won't change their mind. You can say, hey, look at all these millions of people who are perfectly law abiding with their guns and they never hurt anybody. You can show them that it's entirely possible to behave responsibly with a gun, and that it's up to the person and has nothing to do with the features or presence of the gun. But they won't ever get it, because they just can't admit to themselves that maybe somebody else has more self control than them or something. You know what I'm talking about? |

C'mon, don't be like that. Let's play a fun game. Let's assume Squeebo is a 185lb average male adult, and that he actually likes to drink Corona. On Monday, Squeebo goes to his favorite Mexican restaurant after work and drinks one Corona at the bar. Then he drives home. On Tuesday, Squeebo goes to the liquor store, buys a 6-pack of Corona, and drinks one while driving home. On which day did his actions require the intervention of government to mitigate a public danger, and why? |

Arrest and punishment for "pre crime" should be abolished.
What's next? Standing in line at a liquor store that I drove to means I might drink and drive so arrest me on the spot? Having a gun within 1000 feet of a school means I'm going to shoot children? Without a crime there should be no arrest and punishment. Having an open container in a vehicle means nothing unless the driver is over the legal limit.
