Re: Drinking in public

Thanks for your posting. Drunk in public doesn't require that you have alcohol in your possession, and doesn't even require that they give you a test. The fact that they didn't, however, gives you a defense in this case, however.

If you like, I can help you out with this case. Or if you need more information, feel free to let me know.

Thanks,

Robert
