I'm going to assume, until evidence to the contrary surfaces otherwise, that the people being arrested are just way too fucking drunk to function. I doubt the cops want to arrest every person drinking, so they figure out where the line is. It's probably not too hard to figure out where that line is...does everyone in this thread actually get so drunk at a bar that they can't function?
there are lots of other reasons to remove people falling off their chairs drunk from public spaces than just to keep them from driving, in my opinion.
