Public consumption I might be able to be swayed to allow.  But no way will I ever vote for the allowance of public intoxication.

^^^^

I'm not sure if I will vote for the bill either way, but it needs changing. I'll even introduce an amended version now (which I think will be accepted as friendly):

As you see I haven't changed anything else yet. It's the original bill, minus the intoxication Wink

I'm still not convinced of why this is a good idea, and as of now, plan on voting NAY.  If anybody so chooses, I'm open to hearing why I should vote AYE.

When homeless people drinks, they get arrested, and later released. This is a complete waste of our time and resources, as arresting them doesn't really solve the problem. Now, if that drunken man decided to enter a building, he'd still be arrested under this law. A man drinking is not a risk to the public, so I see no reason in making it illegal.

That is soooo dangerously untrue. If that were the case, everyone would be allowed to drink.

You are both pratially right: A person drinking too much is very much a risk to the public.

The question, then, is: Where do we draw the line? Do we just ban people being drunk in public? How do we define that, then?
