Hey You Drunken Texans!!

What is this about???? Just saw on the Today's Show this morning how in Texas, law enforcement is going into your favorite watering holes and arrresting intoxicated patrons! Has nothing to do with disturbing the public, just if you are wasted, you are going to jail.

You Texans just drink too much, right?? Hope they don't start this in Michigan. Playa sounds better and better everyday.

Ok...you got MY attention! I think they're targeting the 'clubs' where the younger people hang out...(that just hurt writing it )
Seriously, drinking and driving is a real problem here in Texas. I have notice more police officers in the parking lots of restaurants lately.
Guess we'll just have to go to Vikki's and drink:p

No Kelly its not just the clubs, its the local bars and pubs. They said they are trying to cut down on DWI's but they are arresting people who aren't even driving. I was talking to an attorney yesterday and he doesn't think alot of these cases will hold up in court. Just another way for the state to try and make a buck

I don't think they are coming into private parties (yet) I'll have to ask the state trooper who lives next door.

it's no big deal, the law has always been on the books, they are just going to start enforcing it more. Being staggering drunk or passing out at a bar has always been a no-no..........that's why I do my serious shootin at home or in Playa, I'm free to stagger as much as I want

Roll on the good times!
