You have to get to a bar somehow...lots of people go and only have a few drinks or go as a group and have a designated driver, it's only illegal to drive drunk or buzzed not after being in a bar. Also, employees need somewhere to park

That's so you have a safe place to leave your car when you take the taxi home.

Because many of us are smart enough to keep ourselves sober. A bar doesn't necessarily mean getting drunk.

Not everyone who goes in that car home would have drank.
I don't drink alcohol but often drive myself, my fiance and a few friends to a pub a few miles away, that's why they have car parks.

its only illegal if you drank too much, some people have self control and some don't, the ones that don't are the ones getting DUIs

designated drivers

For designated drivers who are at the bar, but are not drinking.
For employees of the bar who are not drinking.
For customers who drive to the bar, drink, walk home (or take taxis, mass transit, etc.), and come back the next day (when they are sober) to get their cars.
For compliance with local zoning laws that require all businesses to have parking lots.

What the ****!? Why do bars have parking lots!?!?!
So customers can PARK!?
Just because you go to a bar doesn't necessarily mean you will drink & drive. You may drink, stay for a while/ sober up, and drive. You might as well ask why are there bars at all if it is illegal to drink & drive, not why bars have parking lots.
