...and the land of the freeeeeeeeee." - Not.
To anybody who thinks this is the start, it's not - it started when states started banning people from smoking in bars and public places, it's a slippery slope from taking one freedom away and removing the rest.

wow...I'm a smoker myself and can kind of agree with the no smoking inside but this is just crazy. If they start doing this in Atlanta I'm fucked.

How appropriate...the former governor of the once great state of Texas, now our prez, has a DUI and a cocaine arrest hushed up...not to mention having two daughters with numerous citations for alcohol violations....is this a great country or what?

Public Intoxication Statute of Texas
49.02 Public Intoxication
"Public Intoxication" means:
A person commits an offense if the person appears in a public place while intoxicated to the degree that the person may endanger the person or another.
"Intoxicated" is defined as:
not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the body; or
having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.
I thought the whole point of drinking in a bar was to get intoxicated in a SAFE environment. Maybe once you leave, you might be a danger to yourself or to others, but not before. But then, pre-emption, in any context, is never really a good plan, is it?

What is SADD?
I think MADD is ridiculous, I don't see why parents need money/charity to teach their kids not to drink and drive, the money would be better invested in better public transport and dare I say it, more road blocks and spot checks.

This has been going on for... years. Nothing new.
When you give rights to some people, you take from others. It's as simple as that.
That's nice.
