“So should private drunkenness remain legal (I ask again)? “

That depends on what you mean by “private.”

If you are sitting at home getting sloshed all by yourself, it’s not really possible to arrest you for it. There’d be no probable cause. So I’d say, that could be legal. As far as I know, it is. I don’t hear of anyone being arrested for private drunkenness.

But if you have a dependent in the home, no.

Private consumption can theoretically work, but there you are again, trusting someone who has screwed up their brain to keep some sort of rules.

So why shouldn't private consumption of other drugs also be legal?
