Ah, alcoholism has just been solved! Give yourself an award.
And what other rights do you lose if you’re “acting like a fool?”
The fact is that, besides clumsily pawing at a police officer after being told to stop, this person did no harm to anyone, besides being an obnoxious drunk. Which isn’t generally against the law.
I don’t think grown adults ought to get obnoxiously drunk, but I don’t think the state should use public humiliation as a reprisal. Is this really different from the Puritan stocks?
