I think you've made an awfully big leap! I, for one, lean toward agreeing with you and saying that you should be able to do whatever you want so long as it doesn't hurt me or anyone other than yourself. However, I think it becomes a tricky business when deciding what should be the law. I don't think this is a black and white issue. If you have a daughter and are always drunk and high you will have impacted her life as well as your own. How does this play into the whole personal freedom thing? How do we decide what's best for society?
