I like the way you always put your vanities in "Chat." So many people aren't that courteous.
I sometimes carry a glass of wine across the street to visit with the neighbors. Guess I'd be in trouble if the Deputy Sheriff happened by right then.

I once combined a DUI with the mighty UBAL (unlawfull blood alcohol level) making a felony.
As far as people drinking in their own homes or in their yards the law should back off.

When I was in the Navy, one of my buddies got three hits at once on base: A DUI, speeding and running a stop sign... on a bicycle.
Yes, he was blitzed and yes, he was going over the 10 MPH limit and yes, he ran the sign.
But... Come On!

One of my cellmates once got busted for driving his car in a Wall-Mart parking lot. Good. There are probably more little kids running around there than on the roads.
Personally, I regard DWI as equivalent to felony reckless endangerment.

Still, there is ambiguity. Driving what, where? A bicycle? A horse cart? One of my cellmates once got busted for driving his car in a Wall-Mart parking lot. There's no ambiguity, really: the idea is to punish those whose inebriated state causes them and their conveyance to pose a danger to others. You can easily think of scenarios for each of the named vehicles where "drunk driving" will pose such a danger.
"Drinking in public" is one of those where the threshold is most likely defined as "it's causing a problem." In some cases (such as where it's clearly marked as prohibited), there's no ambiguity. Drinking and obnoxious in a crowd seems generally to consist of a first warning, with a ticket to follow if the problem persists.
Drunk in public is pretty straightforward if the fellow's passed out or vomiting, or running into people.

I drink what I want when I want on my property, as I please.
They may come and take me away as they please; everyone has a function in the universe; I do my job, they do their's.
It is not illegal to be drunk as a skunk, unless there is a cop present. Anywhere, including your domicile. I find it helpful to not create situations whereby I need to deal with law enforcement personnel when I am legless.

Veteran drinker, eh? Interesting word choice. Is that your way of saying you've turned pro?

Got one for you, Harry. These dames were busted for pushing a car while drunk.
Women Face DUI Charges For Pushing Car
Drunken driving can also be drunken pushing -- at least to police in Portage, Ind.
Kaylyn Kezy and Melissa Fredenburg both face DUI charges after the car they were pushing crashed into a parked car. Police said the women took turns pushing the non-running car while the other steered.
After the accident, officers said both women tested with a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit.
Prosecutor Adam Burroughs admitted the case might be a tough one to prove in court. But he noted that the women were in effect operating the vehicle -- even though the car wasn't running at the time.
