Texas arrests people for being drunk. In bars.

On the flip side, that is one of the cleanest cities anywhere.
Completely ridiculous, when I was in texasn last month I tried to get a drink at the airport between flights and was told that you can't order a drink on a sunday unless you order food with it. 
In the bar the only food they had was a boat full of tortilla chips with a couple pumps of velveeta. :/ I opted to purchase a half dozen single serving smirnoff 100proofs from the gift shop.

guess texas wants everyone to go to Mexico to do their drinking...
wonder if they'll wait at the boarder of Juarez to give people tickets for "walking while drunk" ???

I am not defending this retardedness but I think thy are using "drunk in public" as the basis for the arrests with of course the "We are trying to catch them before they do something stupid" as the real reason. I agree with what someone else said though, is a bar a PUBLIC place? I thought it was private? Either way, I guess if they can ban smoking in bars they can ban drunkenness, just seems kind of stupid.

This all reminds me of a peev of mine.
On those crazy car chase shows they always have the same dude doing the voice over acting like he's actually in the helicopter shooting the video. He acts surprised and all. The whole time there is this fake siren sound in the background (actual lasts the entire show). Anyway. some dude is running from the cops and eventually gets into a situation where a cop is up ahead. The cop jumps out in front fo the mad man and almosst gets hit becasue the dude doesn't care. The second that happens the fake helicopter pilot says 'oh nonw he's gonna get charged with attempted murder with a deadly weapon' and ****. WTF??? the cop almost comitted suicide.
short list of lame things;
1. fake helicopter pilots.
2. fake siren sounds.
3. overblown charges.
