Legalize Drunk Driving

Drunk driving is ever in the news (Paris Hilton arrested) and the news typically conflates the non-crime of drunk driving with the real crime of actually hurting people and injuring property with a car. So it’s a good time to revisit my 2000 article calling for the legalization of drunk driving.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
