So, you're a small government leaning person, yet would want the government to regulate self-destructive behavior?
All I care about is danger to other people. If someone wants to drink himself to literal death from alcohol poisoning, that's his decision*. I'm not going to try and get the government to protect him from himself, he's got the freedom to be an idiot if he wants.
But I should NOT have to worry about someone like that climbing into his vehicle and murdering me or someone else.
*If it's intentional suicide as opposed to intentional excess drinking to a dangerous level that anyone w/ a brain would know is a bad idea, then yeah, the person needs help. But I doubt there's many cases of that, it's not a very effective method and once you're wasted your sense of judgement will be impaired.
