- what I don't get is, how can they arrest people for public intoxication *in a bar*? - znufrii Jul 1, 08:01 15
  - znu it's against the law to be over the legal alcohol limit - 'lia Jul 1, 08:08 6
    - And this has nothing to do with whether they are about to get behind the wheel? I've never heard of such a law. - con_carne Jul 1, 08:19 1
