Call me a spoil sport, but the idea of drive thru alcohol just sounds terrible. The societal cost is not worth the convenience. Is this worse than a bar? Yes, placing the alcohol in the vehicle is ridiculous.

People want freedom, but sometimes the losses to our common good are too much. The cost of drunken driving is horrific, ask anyone who has lost someone.

so do you must not have alcohol at your home. If so then where did you get it? From a store? If you did then you brought alcohol into a vehicle.

If saying that being able to buy alcohol without getting out of your car is what creates the risk for drunk driving then that is assuming only lazy people drink and drive. The twist off cap on a bottle of crown is just as easy to get into as poking a straw through a plastic lid.

The problem of DWIs comes down to irresponsible drivers not vendors. If you support making vendors responsible then you should supports a bill that causes anyone walking into a bar to forfeit their keys.

Unless you are driving 30+ minutes from the drive through to where you are going you aren't going to get above the legal limit anyway. Plus you are more likely to be going home or somewhere you can stay if you are picking up the alcohol form a store which is much safer than drinking at a bar for a few hours then trying to drive home.
