I'm not saying that it is. My point was that the guy drew enough attention to himself to have the police called, the police had probable cause to arrest him, and he received the least serious charge possible under the circumstances as reported.frankie_the_yankee wrote:1) The guy in Texas City had taken prescription drugs. That's not the same thing as having 1 drink.
The incident did not get escalated to the Houston newspapers or TV stations. The local paper did not report on it further. They are unlikely to do so.
I agree with you that this "not one drop" business is irrational. If that's what someone chooses, fine. It's a personal choice, just like the choice of whether or not to carry in any situation.
