How many unwilling people are sacrificed because we won't ban alcohol and all impairing drugs without exception and then enforce those bans with immediate, Judge Dredd-style summary execution?

I bet you that'd reduce traffic fatalities dramatically too.

How far do you want to go to 'save lives'.

I guarantee you with 100% certainty I can design a society that will 'save lives' at every turn for every single activity, and I can guarantee you with 100% certainty you wouldn't want to live in it.

You seem to ignore that we've already tried banning alcohol and currently ban many drugs. We scrapped banning alcohol for a reason.
