It has to do with your probability of causing serious harm to other people. ~40k deaths/year from driving (presumably some significant portion from drunk driving, texting, drugs etc.). (EDIT: this number is in the USA) The point I am making is that you are not free to do whatever you feel like you want to do. You wanna drive? Get a license. You wanna drive drunk? Not allowed. You wanna speed? Not allowed. There are people coming to this discussion from the perspective that their freedom to do whatever they want is absolute regardless of impact to others, but it's not. It's a balance. For sure the measures/restrictions on freedom need to be proportional to the risks but this is not about individual risks. If you drive a tank and there's zero risk to you you still can't drive drunk.
