Here's the thing. alcohol and illegal drugs are mind altering substances. That means that when under the influence you don't make the best decisions.
I have had two DWIs. The second one I was minding my own business drinking beer at home and getting royally drunk. Next thing I knew I was in my truck on the side of the road with a sheriff's flashlight shining in my face. I don't remember leaving the house. I had blacked out.
Was I of the mind to make a conscious decision to drive? Would I have been if I hadn't been drinking?
Luckily I didn't have a wreck and hurt or kill anyone but In that state I wouldn't have known it if I did.

That was in 1993. I no longer drink to any great extent. Two beers is my limit and I won't drive after I open the first one.

Drugs are much more powerful than alcohol. It takes less of them to reach that point.

People sometimes make bad decisions.  You can't outlaw bad decisions and call yourself a free society.

Safety or freedom.  Pick one.

Trick question.   You can't have safety.
