Illegal schmillegal. My parents tried that with me, "Its illegal!"
I can't really understand the "illegal" argument, it just makes zero sense to me.
How many times have you driven over the standard .08 BAC? If you go stop by your friends house or happy hour for a couple of beers and leave an hour later, most likely you are over that .08 BAC. You may not be drunk or have a buzz (perhaps due to tolerance?) but that doesn't change your BAC. And that is illegal to be behind the wheel with that blood-alcohol content (or whatever it stands for).
Same with people who have a couple of drinks during dinner at a public place. It is illegal to be drunk in public but that doesn't stop anyone from going outside and taking a walk at the local town center after polishing off a bottle of wine after dinner.
Luckily, for me, the police don't enforce those laws too much around here.
Nature made pot, man made alcohol...who do you trust more?
(I'm more pro pot than alcohol, but don't mind either)
