>>> If drinking and driving is illegal then why do bars have parking lots?
>>
>> Drinking and driving is NOT illegal.
>> Driving drunk is illegal.

> Actually drinking alcoholic beverages and driving, if done at the same time, *is* illegal in many states. New Hampshire, for example, has an "open container" law which prohibits any open containers of alcoholic beverage from being in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle which is in motion. It's okay to have it stored so that nobody can be drinking while the car is in motion.
Drinking *while* driving – yes, and rightly so.
The original context was "why do bars have parking lots".
