You can get arrested for being drunk in the US?
damn.
I drank (at home, at parties, in pubs, in car parks, etc) since I was 15 and I never got in any trouble for it. One time the police asked for my name and address (cos I was drinking champagne and port with a couple of mates on a golf course at midnight and was wearing all black clothing) - but he didnt give a shit about the booze.
When I visited the states I noticed how uptight it was about booze. I got asked for ID three or four times (when I was 27, 20+ stones heavy and had a full beard) - which is weird experience when youre used to being able to drink in pubs from 15/16 years old in the UK with no one bothered as long as you behaved.
