Robots don't get arrested for not drinking. Robots get arrested for not drinking while flying spaceships.

No, it's not.

Yes, it is.
It's still a robot getting arrested for something he can't afford to do.

So, do you get why it's okay for a robot to be sober 'cause he's too poor to drink, but NOT okay for him to FLY while he's sober?
I assume if there was some great, contrived situation whereby the sober robot was the ONLY ONE available to fly a spaceship, and if it wasn't flown many other people and robots would certainly die, and he ONLY flew the spaceship to save their lives because the chance of death was better than the certainty of death...then the robot could claim extenuating circumstances and be forgiven for sober flying.
But otherwise, he can always choose NOT to fly.

What if a human didn't have any money? How's he supposed to buy food? Robot's don't need food. So it's all the more easy to buy alcohal. Humans needing food is a bigger concern, one that you don't need to be in the future to witness. Something people die without, not just lose their driving priveliges. Robot's do jobs more sufficiently then human, so if they can't make enough money to buy alcohal, or mineral water for that matter, then that's pretty bad. Choices: Homeless shelter (as seen in Xmas Story) OR Suicide Booth! Yay!

Uh, robots fuel cells run on alcohol. When their power levels get low they malfunction (act drunk). Several episodes explain this phenomena.
