Yeah I agree completely, and I also agree with MADDs original mission: make tangible consequences for driving drunk.

They achieved it, and like you say having stores closed on a weekend means an alcoholic might turn to isopropyl alcohol, washing alcohol, hand sanitizer .etc it isn’t going to make them stop… If anything it shifts the burden onto our already overtaxed healthcare system as alcoholics destroy their bodies even more.

Edit: it also turns out most provinces have moved away from doing this, since most of them closed on at least Sunday.
