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?
