In the context of this specific discussion some have expessed their choice to drink while carrying or not to cary or not to drink. There appear to be arguable points for all positions.
In the end we are all judged by the choices we make during our life.
There may be some who will try to ridicule, diminish, or exert influence over our choices, but ultimately the act of choosing is up to the individual - period.
If there are consequences, (just or unjust), as a result of choices made, they will have to be dealt with.

Peut-être......After reading, and re-reading your post, I find myself reminded of that commercial where the two French guys are trying to figure out where "behind" is for the round-shaped toilet that sits in the middle of the room.
After all, how can we really know anything?
When you're hungry, eating a nice plate of spaghetti and meatballs puts you in a different mood than you were in before you ate it, period.
When your boss dumps on you you feel different emotionally than you did before, period.
A cup of coffee has a psychoactive effect, as does a cigarette or cigar or a mouthfull of chewing tobacco, period.
C'est la vie, right?

My personal opinion, which is mine alone, take it or leave it.
Alcohol (ethanol) is a psychoactive dpressant drug, period.
Ingestion of ANY drug, of ANY amount, will alter judgment to some degree or another, depending on many variables.
When you drink, you roll the dice. It is an individual choice.
The actions or inactions of others have no relevence to the choices that one makes for themselves.
Any consequences as a result of the choices one makes, may be suffered without consent, regardless of 'feelings' of what is 'right' or 'wrong'.
Perception is reality for many. One's actions, after the fact, can be manipulated by the verbal description of another to be percieved totally different from what the actor intended for them to be.
