Distinguish between the status of being an alcoholic and the crime of public intoxication
What will be an ideal response?
• It is not illegal to be an alcoholic or to be intoxicated.
• It is illegal, in narrow circumstances, to be publicly intoxicated and cause a disturbance or to place other persons in jeopardy due to intoxication. These laws vary state by state and the trend is to take habitual drunkards to a medical facility for temporary observation rather than to arrest for a crime.
