Are you for, against, or in between?

I don't want you to think I'm trying to argue but I really don't understand your response. You said, "not everyone chooses to abstain". But isn't that the CHOICE? All I'm saying is (if I drank), I would have the choice to either drink and let someone else drive me home or drink and drive myself home. Now if I did the latter, I know that the possibilities are I could kill myself and/or others. Isn't it about being responsible in the first place? Or should I not be held responsible for my actions if I kill myself or others while driving drunk? I know that if I point a loaded gun at someone and pull the trigger, the possiblity is they might die. My main point: if I know what the possibilities of my actions are, then I am making a conscious, well-informed decision of whether or not I want to deal with said possibilites.
