Can we just condemn and prosecute drunk drivers and call it good enough?

  I don't think it's good enough. It's just one situation, but there are others. Alcohol makes people more aggressive. It also makes them piss on the streets. A neighborhood I lived in banned alcohol sales past 10pm for those reasons. The fact is there are social costs to alcohol and they have to be internalized somehow. Taxes are a pretty good way of doing that.

    > A neighborhood I lived in banned alcohol sales past 10pm for those reasons. Call me cynical, but I would take a good look at how many tavern owners were behind the lobbying for this sort of legislation.

    To be fair, lack of public toilets is often a bigger cause of pissing on the streets ;)
