Going just a little too far
Here you go. Shooting Fish in a Barrel.
This is the story about the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Control and their efforts to wipe out drinking in bars. Somehow or another, it is now an arrestable offense to be drunk in a bar. Not driving drunk, not acting rowdy, just for having one too many.
It doesn't matter if you are taking an elevator or a car, it doesn't matter if you have a designated driver, get drunk in a bar in Texas and you're going to the hoosegow to sober up.
Does this strike anybody else as just plain wrong? I mean, at this point in time, alcohol is a legal substance, and anyone partaking of it should be able to partake of it without governmental interference. Getting quietly smashed in a bar should not be against the law. But yet it is. You make the call.
