Not quite. I said we don't need any more laws IF they would enforce the ones that are already there. I, personally, think that they should actually do away with a few of them.

Not quite again. If TABC hits up a bar and they find people falling down drunk, I have no problem with them citing/arresting them. I do have a problem if they hit a hotel bar and arrest people that are staying AT the hotel. Thats a far cry from a more realistic 'wanting to stop drunk driving so we raided hooters' type of argument.

agreed, see my statement above. Again, if they hit up hooters or champs or the local strip club, fine. When you roust hotel patrons at the hotel bar who have no plans to go anywhere, thats an issue.
