    A drunk 21 year old in a car could wipe out a family. A drunk 14 year old on a bike is probably at worst only going to kill themselves.

      I wrote twice that the drunk kid was going to hurt themselves.

      How you got that I approve adults driving drunk is a mystery to me, one I prefer not to waste time solving.

        You are very bad at communicating. You were correct in your initial comment, but really went off the rails and said many incorrect things afterwards

        Walking and biking is statistically more dangerous, mile per mile, for a drunk person than driving. The caveat is this excludes externalities such as injuring other people

        Had you said that, I think more people would have understood what you meant. As it stands, it sounds like you’re advocating for drunk driving

        Let me help you out. It was this one:

        A drunk 14 year old on a bike is probably in more danger than a drunk 21 year old in a car.

          That statement is technically correct

          Mile per mile, drunk walking and biking is more dangerous than drunk driving for the individual. Obviously why drunk driving is not okay is the danger to others, which is why his wording specifically only mentioned the danger to themselves
