They get a lot of cases because some people still cannot prevent themselves
from drinking and driving. Those people often go to jail. There's nothing
wrong with the science.

You can get a non-zero reading without consuming alcohol, even with
lab-grade equipment.


All you have to do is prove that it's not alcohol.

That's why the FAA allows up to a .02% BAC reading before flying.


It should be zero.

Both addictions can cost hundreds of dollars a month.

One could easily spend several hundered dollars on one bottle of wine per
month. I don't wouldn't consider that addicted.


That's not what the addicts do. They spend their money on cheaper beverages,
often with more alcohol content.

A pack-a-day smoker spends more then 'several hunderd dollars' a month on
cigarettes.


Yes. Drug addiction has many common traits irrespective of the drug being
abused.

You should stay far away from these people. They're likely to burn down
their home smoking while they're sleeping


I do, or at least I try. Unfortunately, I still must breathe their
second-hand smoke on occasion. A large percentage of home fires are due to
smoking.

What unavoidable biological mechanism cause mental pain?

What gives you that idea?


Sorry, I misunderstood.

No, they don't, proving once again that there isn't an area under the sun
that you have even the remotest grasp of.

I do, or at least I try.



More likely they stay away from you.

Aside from countries where consumption of alcohol may be

You keep talking about drugs. What drugs are you talking about?

Alcohol, in this case.



Why, what are you on?


The question should be, "what drugs are you _not_ on, that you should be
taking?

That says volumes.
