That's a cop out. You might as well claim that I advocate executing drinkers.

How is that any different from drunk driving accidents on any other day?

Numbers for one. Bring the percentage of drunk driving accidents down to what it is on any other day and I'd be happy.

Driving while drunk is already illegal. Read your gun control arguments.

And yet there is a sizable percentage of this country willing to shred the constitution in the hope that it saves far less lives.

Would you be happy with banning all bar advertizing at all? Exactly how selective do you want to be? Perhaps drinking should be banned next on Friday and Saturday nights.

I'd be happy with just the advertizing. Again you try and redefine my position. Maybe you'd be happier if we just removed all drinking restrictions completely?
