Jeff, when I was growing up in Washington State, Indians could only buy
3.2 beer, no hard liquor and all liquor was available in a state liquor
store and you had to have a liquor card to buy. Also, it was against the
law to pick up a beer/drink from the bar and walk to your table with
it. A waiter/waitress had to do that. And it looks like they have
not progressed much.

Speaking to the negative drug test result. I'm still on the
side that cell phone or other similar electronic devices used while
driving should be charged with the same harshness as DUI. If
someone is killed due to the use, it should also be charged the
same as killing while under the influence. I think they call it
here in Washington State, vehicular manslaughter.
While I agree we can't regulate stupidity, we can regulate
actions stemming from that stupidity.
However, I have to admit, the DUI laws in Washington state
have gone totally wacky. We have instances of people charged with
DUI while on bicycles. Others charged with DUI while asleep in
their parked cars because they had their keys with them and were
considered "in physical control of the vehicle", even though it was
stopped, parked and off. I think Washington state is striving for a
return of those blue laws, or where they called dry laws. I don't remember.
