from @eschatonblog.com: "A big reason people drink and drive is we put bars in the middle of giant parking lots far away from any human habitation. I'm not sure what they expect will happen, but I think the consequences are pretty predictable." www.eschatonblog.com/2010/11/igni...

Make bars only accessible by pedestrians & mass transit. Maybe taxis.

Santa Monica used to, until pretty recently, zone bars as requiring 2x as much parking let sq ft as a restaurant!

Yes but this should be controlled via car control not alcohol control.

Eh I mostly agree, but, alcohol is a poison and should be more discouraged than it is (not prohibition though)

I mean the specific comment I was replying to was "Society should maybe actually act as though it doesn't like it when people drive drunk".

Yeah I know, and in that context you're broadly correct. Just looping in James's earlier remark

Prohibition taught us that people will make dangerous alternatives to booze when they can't have it legally
