Then she should refrain from dictating to others how they should consider laws and when and how to break them or follow them.
I had no particular problem with her choice in following the law until she informed all of us, and I do quote from her comment above "Because it's the law. We don't get to pick and choose which laws we follow. "
Laurie's choice is as valid as mine or Mark's or Rahne's or anyone else's. Her attempts to preach her brand of morality and ethics are only going to be met with argument.
It is not, after all, if any of us have forced her to drink illegally or break any laws. We simply point out the flaws in her reasoning.
Well, if you objected to her informing you all of her choice, perhaps you should not have asked her "why should he or she respect such a restrictive law?" as it was basically guarunteed to elicit an opinion of some sort. It is a tad harsh to become upset with her for answering your own question.
