Asking a waiter or a waitress if they were serving her glass after glass of wine would have been a much better route to take, as the restaurant could have intervened if they were serving wine to an intoxicated person and made a decision to stop, call a cab or if there was resistance then call the police. This bystander was playing gotcha, and didn’t seem to be all that concerned about the public welfare. She could have killed someone while he was following her, and calling the police. Stopping any potential problem at the point where she was not in her car would have made much more sense. The problem could have been resolved in a more responsible way. This bystander made his own assumptions without bothering to get the facts. He had time to try to determine the situation while he saw her being served “glass after glass of wine.”

It may be a law (not sure about Texas) but it isn't a good one IMO) I feel it isn't the waitress, the bar owner, the clerk that sales a can in a bag or anyone else's responsibility to control someone's drinking but we do have to follow the law. That said, if we see a kid in the road or a house on fire as good citizens I hope we respond. If I saw someone that appeared intoxicated and getting ready to drive , I would say something or file a FYI report. I've actually called 911 a few times, about people driving on the wrong side of the road, or all over the road. They might have just reached back to smack a kid or pick something up but if they are drunk they need to be stopped for their safety and others.
