The question is what we should consider as "normal" behavior. Are drunken drivers behaving "normally"?
Or how about drug addicts?

Baby end for being 'possessed' The BBC News web site examines the rest of Samira Ullah after the child's father is found guilty of her liquidate.
Most people somehow manage to live without violating laws, others choose to break them.
Consider the case just cited: To quote a bit more from the article.
"She only lived for three months.
Her father, Sitab Ullah, had worked as an educational development officer at a school in Westminster.
His Old Bailey trial heard tributes to his work from the school's head teacher and a police officer who worked closely with Ullah. He was described as a "positive influence" on the children, a third of whom were, like him, of Bangladeshi origin.
But when Sitab Ullah's father died in November 2003 he became addicted to injection and crack sugar. His personality changed and he became violent and delusional. "
....OK, admittedly not all drug users become violent and delusional, just as not all who drive while drunk cause damage.
However, some do, which is why such behavior is illegal. Being drunk is not usually an offense. However, in Australia at least, driving while over the limit is an offense.
As one of the TV commercials says "If you are over 0.05 you are under arrest."
