Thank you willravel
I also have a problem with this... What constitutes drunk? Above the legal limit? Belligerent? Visibly intoxicated? Seems to me to be a pretty hard standard to uphold. Also, what about those who walk to the bar and get drunk with the intention of calling a cab/DD later? To many unknowns to fairly enforce, if you ask me this is just asking for trouble from officers on a power trip.
