17. Ever been hit by a drunk driver?
>Do you want the government telling you that cannot drink this amount or you cannot go watch a band play?<

I have. My husband's brother died when their family's car was hit by a drunk driver when he was a kid. There would be no use for these laws if people did not persist in driving drunk. Period. When you or someone you know gets behind the wheel of a car legally drunk, hell, yes, it's my business, and the business of everyone else on the road. There are also host laws in Washington State. We are very vigilant to make sure everyone who visits and has alcohol at our house has a designated driver, or we take them home.

As for the insistence that you "cannot go watch a band play," I haven't heard that Seattle's now outlawing music.
