re: Why don't we talk about prohibition of alcohol after DUI fatalities?

quote:

We live in a society where you can legally buy and drink alcohol.

Very frequently people abuse this freedom, they get drunk, get behind the wheel, and kill themselves or others.

This is not exactly a rare occurrence. Over 10,000 people a year die in the US in alcohol related car accidents.

So where are the people demanding alcohol be banned because of these deaths?

Just one big difference. We've done a lot research and implemented a lot of technologies to make cars much more safer, with seat belts, air bags, and crumplezones. While on the other hand, research into seeing what we can do to make gun safer has been prohibited by law.
