Whether you care to do them or not is irrelevant. Frankly I do.

You apparently missed the rest of my comment, where I said that I understand your point, and that there was a big difference between drinking in public and freedom of speech, religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.

Smoking in public places causes public health concerns, drinking in public places can result in safety problems. Public nudity is something that is and should be regulated by local standards of decency.

When government decides what is legal to say in the pulpit, or decides which opinions can be expressed, and takes away your freedom to arm yourself, then you have real problems, not just inconveniences.
