Drinking laws in the US are kind of ridiculous. In some places, you can legally drink in public if your parents are with you, but no one will serve you because you're underage (sort of like they'll refuse to serve a pregnant woman if she asks for a glass of wine). You can allow your own child to drink in your house, but it's illegal to have other kids drinking, unless it's part of a religious ritual like the wine at a Seder.

Even if you're of legal drinking age, how the laws get enforced depends largely on where you are. A guy I went to college with got arrested for public drunkenness because he was falling-down drunk on the lawn of the house we all rented. The cops sat on the street and waited for him to come off the porch steps into the yard so they could arrest him. As long as he was on the porch, it was legally "in the house" so he wasn't in public. Yard? Newp, into the cop car with you. Other places, you can have all the drunken raucous shenanigans you want in your front yard without any repercussions.

Holy shit, what a terrible use of taxpayer dollars... >____> really?? Aren't there more pressing things for cops to worry about than arresting someone who's drunk on private property not hurting anyone? (unless he was and I'm missing that part?)

It was a college town, they generally didn't have anything better to do. He wasn't hurting anyone or anything, just really, really drunk. Drunk enough that he argued with them about not putting his seat belt on when they threw him in the back of the cop car, he didn't want them to drive away because his seat belt wasn't on and it's not safe, what if they get into an accident?

I mean.

Drunk, but not wrong.
