  The NPS regularly arrests people doing extreme sports (like BASE jumping, or camping too long or where/when not permitted) at Yosemite. There’s an on site court and a jail. It’s become a highly policed Disney world over the last 50 years, catering to those whose idea of adventure is crowded family group tours and lugging your plush suburban lifestyle around in a camper. Also, generally you are held liable if you inflict suffering on someone when you are drunk. Why then should Yosemite, cruises, or the bartender be liable if you inflict suffering on yourself when you are drunk? Either you’re responsible for your own actions or you aren’t.
