" what constitutes a tolerable level of risk for the harm that might come of various practices" Based on whose judgements? Drunk driving has untold numbers to prove it is an intolerable risk. If I put my mind to it, so do a few other things, probably. But I haven't seen what I consider an intolerable risk in prostitution or drug/alcohol abuse. That is the point Libertarians make. To create a value judgement of this nature means getting highly subjective - thus highly exclusionary. That is the failing of devising a system to make these things illegal, and why we pay more to keep them illegal than to make them legal.
