I would be very pissed off if the government tried to take that away from me.

This is the thing about people that are super defensive about their 'right' to drink.
If the consumption and distribution of alcoholic beverages was invented tomorrow, it would 100% be illegal and punishable by very harsh laws. It's a drug. Period.
As long as alcholol is legal, we will have hundred of innocent people killed by drunk drivers every year. This debate is no different than the gun debate in my eyes, and there is zero point arguing about fixing it, until booze is prohibited. There will always be people that excercise poor judgement. The only fix is to ban either cars or booze to eliminate it, and neither of hose will ever happen.
