I disapprove of accidents or reckless driving. I don't care what state you're in when you drive.Making it illegal to drive drunk obviously contributes to preventing accidents from happening.
Also, how does that tie in with fairness and objectivity of the law? We punish some hobbies or lifestyles, yet allow others which can be equally detrimental.Everyone is equal before the law, which is why anyone driving drunk will be penalized. The principle of equality before the law is not undermined by what you denounce, since it applies to people and not to conducts. I'm not familiar enough with the law to say whether or not police officers can charge someone for driving when extremely tired (the anonymous UK poster below me seems to know that it is the case), but if not that would be purely based on practical reasons. There's nothing wrong with that.

Sure. So does making it illegal to drive. Should we ban driving, then?No, since the goal is to reduce the number of accidents without banning driving. Don't be an idiot.
Different people have different ways of acting, so I would say it does. It's just like penalizing marijuana users and telling them they can drink alcohol instead.Then you're wrong in saying it does, and you do not understand what "equality before the law" means.

Why is the current law better than any other?It's better than what you mentioned because it is a pragmatic way of preventing a good number of accidents from happening without unreasonably limiting access to driving.
Perhaps it does not break equality before the law, but it does break it's natural generalisation (which should also be fulfilled imo).Again, no. That in your eyes some conducts should be equally allowed is irrelevant - it is not a problem with the universal character of the law but a political matter.

people do things they wouldn't intend to if they were clear of mind. does that make them ok? no, but don't pretend like you probably haven't done something dumb while drinking yourself, like taking your dick out at a party and pissing on the floor. who hasn't done that?
