first of all, drinking and driving isn't illegal in most of Europe, so long as you don't go over the limit you can drink while driving. Second, bars have parking lots so that people can go there by car. I hope you aren't assuming that bars only sell hard liquors or that all bar visitors have to get out of bars while drunk. I often go into bars to drink a cooffee or (when I smoked) used to go in to buy cigarettes.

oh you talk about a can of worms ,you just opened a barrel of wormy things....the answer you will get is that all patrons remain at the bar until they are legally sober enough to drive,,,yea right thats all the old guy with the apron has to do is check and see if you can drive,,,,,you didn't mention the ball games,,but they stop at the 7th so these people are cold sober when they leave,,,been to any ballgames lately,,drinking is socially accepted ,unlike smoking,, drinking does not hurt anyone,,,,,talk to your trooper,,,,I really can't tell you what the answer is,but it is a very good question, might be a good one for politicians seeking office

People don't have to drink in a bar. You can have a designated driver in your party. You might be attending a concert or function and only have soda; and in most states, you can drink at least one beer and still be legal to drive.

You're allowed to drink and drive, providing your blood alcohol level stays below the legal limit. Often this is not the case. However, drinking establishments are considered legal, and one must drive to get there and back, unless it is walking distance.

They get more business thereby. Also local government may demand it in some cases.
Anyhow, it is only illegal to drive if the amount of alcahol in your body is above the legal limit.

Because you have to be 21 you get your license at 16... Meaning people can drive there so they don't walk... How else would they get there a bike? No, I know a guy that was intoxicated and crashed his bike and is now paralyzed. It is up to the drinker to be responsible thats why beer companies say Drink Responisbly

The first intelligent question ever posted on Yahoo! Answers. Next time you get pulled over, ask the cop, I'm sure he or she will be happy to explain it to you.
