    drinking and driving isn’t inherently more dangerous than just driving, and it’s a skill you can practice.

      You’re just factually wrong. Now you may have an argument that someone that’s driving drunk may be a better driver than someone that’s a bad driver while sober, but alcohol impairment reduces inhibitions, increases reaction time, impairs motor control, and alters judgement. That objectively makes you a more dangerous driver compared to your sober self.

        would you rather be the designated driver leaving a bar at 2am knowing you’re in a society that frowns upon drunk driving, but maybe people are well practiced at it, or knowing your in a society that punishes it drastically, so only the most desperate people attempt it?

          Definitely the second. Because those people would still be driving drunk in the first case.

          Having 2 horriblly-drunk drivers on the road is still better than having 2 horribly-drunk drivers plus another 20 moderately-drunky drivers.

            I guess we all have different risk assessment

        There are studies on this, smoking impairs your driving a lot less than drinking. But it’s not good to drive while high, to be clear…

          Yeah it makes you drive a lot slower which is inherently safer than drunk driving (even though you’re still under the influence). In my experience, I tend to have way too much fun drunk driving. High driving I’m either a little paranoid or chilled out so I’m driving safe. Drunk driving I get excited and do stupid shit.

          Lowk I think the issue is when you’re an alcoholic cause you get complacent. An infrequent drunk driver is still a little on edge and doesn’t want to fuck up. An alcoholic drunk driver thinks it’s normal to drunk drive
