ABSTRACT
In all organised societies a framework of rules exist to govern and control human behaviour. These rules relate to behaviour as diverse as being faithful in marriage, to paying taxes, to speeding in a car, to public nudity. Sometimes these rules are directly related to religious precepts and these can vary from group to group and society to society. For example, multiple wives might be acceptable in a fundamentalist Muslim culture, while unacceptable in a Western Christian or secular society. At other times rules emanate from, and are controlled by, the political and judicial systems operating in any society. So, for example, driving with a proscribed alcohol level is illegal in many societies, however, the actual proscribed level of blood alcohol can vary widely from the common 0.05% to 0.1% to 0.01%, and the levels are set by the political and legal system of the country, state, or even town. There is no inherent religious reason why a person should not drink and drive.
