I'm not really drunk though, just buzzed. I think I'd rather be in NJ than TX though.

What Are Bars For? State should back off arrests of tame drunks




11:17 AM CST on Sunday, March 26, 2006


Is Texas a great place to live, or what? Seems the state can afford to send undercover agents into bars to arrest people they believe are guilty of drinking too much ... while sitting.

That's right, sitting. Not driving, sitting. Or standing. And drinking – which is what people go to bars to do.

Yes, these tipplers might get into a car. So the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission has been going into saloons snooping on patrons in "Operation Last Call," an effort to crack down on drunken driving. So far they've made more than 2,000 pre-emptive strikes on drunken drivers.

Except for the ones who weren't. For instance, several drinkers in a recent Irving sweep were reportedly out-of-towners drinking in the bar of the hotel where they were staying. What a brilliant plan to boost convention business: Make tourists afraid that if they have one cocktail too many, they might be sent to the pokey.


Yeah, that's me. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
