IS ALCOHOL DRUG OF CHOICE?

It is with great interest that I have been reading all the letters to
the editor on DWIs and the marijuana initiative. When is the last time
you heard of someone being arrested for or causing an accident while
DUIM (driving under the influence of marijuana)?

Is the reason we have so many people driving with multiple DWIs
because alcohol is the drug of choice for our judges, legislators,
born-again Christians and other groups? Why haven't we raised the tax
on alcohol since 1983, but we have raised the tax on cigarettes?
Alcohol costs the taxpayers just as much, if not more than smoking.
