this was ascribed to marie antoinette but is a misquote
what she actually said was 'cannot they eat cake'
the cake she was referring to is bread or other baked good that overflowed its pan and landed in another part of the oven - it was generally thrown out as people would not pay for it, however, if someone is starving it is edible and can sustain life, it does not taste very good
bakers threw it out because they did not want people eating it and not paying for it
No matter the underlying mistake, the message comes across; as it has through out it's usage, which therefore makes it common standard.

Let's not forget the loss of jobs, injuried, harm to others, etc.

i made the same mistake in a history class and as a result i had to research it as a project assigned by the professor...
you should know that just because a lot of people say something, that it does not make it true
fyi, i think that all recreational drugs should be legalized, taxed and regulated - for adults
then we could take the money used to chase down the crooks and use it for re-hab or funeral expenses...
also, it would still be a crime to injure or kill someone else while under the influence
