should drinking while driving be legal?

[Boris]

Passengers can already defacto drink in cars (or, for that matter, pretty much anywhere); they just can't drink out of containers that are clearly marked as alcoholic. Put whiskey/vodka into a 20 oz plastic coke bottle or a McDonald's cup or something and you're good to go. It might be legal in St. Louis for passengers to visibly drink in vehicles but I have consistently received mixed answers on whether this is actually the case and thus exercise discretion.

so you basically favor people digging holes and filling them back in.

and "people who do need it" presumes the product being sold here actually works, which it doesn't.

Just wait a quarter of a century; every point in this thread will be rendered completely moot as DUI arrests and related deaths will drop to ~0. In the prescient words of a former forumer, "be patient."
