It isn't "can" something be harmful. It's is it extremely likely to be harmful. 


Drunk driving clears that bar like Superman. Even with all the drunk driving laws we have that should be a deterrent there are still hundreds of thousands injured and thousands killed directly because of drinking & driving every year.


A kitchen knife "can" be harmful... but it's not very likely. Similarly with guns. They can be dangerous... but handled 100% legally and properly they are actually pretty darn safe. Safe drunk driving is an oxymoron... like saying, huge midgets.:D Drunk driving by it's actual nature is not safe driving at all. 


As far as cell phone driving I can see how some could say that's a multitasking distraction. Do I think it is ANYTHING like someone drunk driving? No I don't. Once again it's the likelihood of injuring somebody that is the issue here with drunk driving.


The only way you'd have any serious argument that drunk driving should be allowed is if you can post any study... ANY STUDY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME:D that shows drinking and driving doesn't affect driving ability negatively.


Since that ain't never gonna happen I think you should just concede this one.;)
