Senator TNF, I have obviously some questions for you.

1) Why this title?
2) What is "the Regional Legal Drinking Act"? And why do you want to repeal the repeal of the Regional Legal Drinking Act
3) You want to lower the age for the consumption of drugs. And at the same time, you introduced the Sweet Sixteen Act. Shall this law be interpreted as an update of the current age of majority. Or shall it considered separately with the Sweet Sixteen Act. Would you still support this provision if your other bill (Sweet Sixteen), failed to pass the senate?
3)  how shall the modificationf of Section 2 Clause 6 be interpreted. Shall it allow the workers to be  completely intoxicated when they're working (I'm not sure if intoxicated works for the drugs, but I hope you understand what I want to say). Or does that mean that employers can't make any drug screening to their employees, but they can still forbide their worker to be completely intoxicated when they work??
4) And finally, how shall it be interpreted the repeal of Section 2 clause 3. Every driver can be totally drunk without any limit when they drive. Or, the nex legal blood alcohol content will be 0.058%, instead of 0.05%.
Thanks for your answer
Best regards,
VP WJ
