Town may ban walking drunk

[h=1]It could soon become illegal to stumble home drunk in one small town[/h] 1 hr ago



The small town of Bethel, Alaska, has proposed a ban on drunk walking. Drunk walking can lead to smudged shirts, stepped-on toes, toppled-over ice cream cones and awkward questions from children. “Why is that bare-chested man walking in a zigzag and wearing a Corona box like a helmet?” That's a question no mommy or daddy should have to answer. If the proposal passes, drunk walkers in the town of 6,100 will face a $200 fine if they’re caught on the verge of face-planting on the sidewalk. Of course, what no one asking is, how are people supposed to get home from bars now? Don’t tell us you can do less damage riding a Segway drunk. [Source]

This reminds me of a little town outside of bakersfield. Back in the 80's had this one friend who Loved to Drink..... Everyday !
would go into town everyday after work, got pulled over twice for being drunk. spent a couple of night's in Jail for it. So he decided to walk home one night... Cops grabbed him for Walking Drunk !

Isn't that already called Public Intoxication?

exactly this is nothing new !

See Otis in mayberry.


If you are so drunk you can't walk straight (maybe a .25 BAC or above) and you are falling down and stumbling into the street and laying down, then fine for your own protection.

don't hold pedestrians to a .08 BAC standard though !

I would be screwed.... I don't think I ever walk around in public when NOT drunk.
