I'd say by the advertising the majority of people in the Western world drink alcohol. Probably 80% of those are potentially dangerous by having enough to affect their driving, and then doing so. (A couple/few times a year I go out with my brother to play pool. He always has at least a couple pints. Last night he had three or four. Fortunately, though the place is a mile from home, I'm a default DD.)

Yes, human nature is problematic.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
