I don't see how me not being allowed to drive when drunk or take whatever drugs I want doesn't count as infringements on my freedom? Even taking Swiss' point about just not getting caught...
The drunk driving example potentially impinges on other's well-being, but taking drugs in the privacy of my own home bought with my own money? What right does anyone have to say i can't?
(please note I'm not necessarily advocating doing either of these things - obviously just used as an example )
