If drinking and driving is illegal, why do bars have parking lots?

Question

Just wondering :)

Thanks!

Answer 1

intended for liquor deliveries :p

Answer 2

Usually a patron isn't alone, he goes with his friends and one of them is the designated driver.

Answer 3

Why do they have drive thru liquor stores on the Outer Banks of North Carolina?

Answer 4

Not everyone who goes to a bar gets drunk.

People also go to venues to see music, to have food, to socialise with friends or to be the designated driver.

Answer 5

Where else are they going to have the drunken fights?  

Answer 6

Because you touch yourself at night.

Answer 7

Business establishments, big or small, which are open for public are required by federal/ state law to have parking lot else bar goers will be parking in other spaces and get ticketed or towed for illegal parking. DUI is of course illegal but as someone above mentioned, not all bar goers get out of the establishment drunk (I go to bar for pool tourneys and spicy chicken wings) beside there are some bars who will no longer serve you liquor if they know you're getting drunk. They'll take your beer or whatever liquour you're drinking and give your tab to pay.

Answer 8

The law does not really prohibit one from driving when one has taken alcohol.  There is a limit though to alcohol intake; not intoxicated or beyond the level allowed by law.

Answer 9

for the patrons that dont drink and for the deliveries...just because a person goes into a bar doesnt mean that theyre gonna drink...

Answer 10

Of course, they need to have parking lots to attract more people to go on drinking spree.
