down on the side of legalization. Since Mills is concerned not with individual
rights, but with the consequences of one's actions on other people, the question

threatens the vital interests of others? Using the example of a casual,

Drink Up - Drunk Driving Should Be Legalized
Words: 359 / Pages: 2 .... of the accidents that involve alcohol the person who has been drinking is
usually the one who survives the accident, often with out a scratch. Allowing
people who have been drinking to drive would also improve the quality of life
for those who choose not to drink. Currently people who have been drinking are
