I don't. Though drinking while driving and driving drunk is bad. Shouldn't be against the law to drink outside a bar, at least.

>Shouldn't be against the law to drink outside a bar, at least.

That's the most retarded part to be honest.

I'm from Germany (yea, I know how cucked this country is, please don't derail the thread) and won't ever understand that said laws in the US.

No freedums at all.

if dipshits stopped rioting after the favorite sports teams win like niggers after a verdict, then we could have nice things

I think it's fine as long as it's not in a vehicle, for obvious reasons.

It should be allowed but in my neck of the woods certain areas are dry zones between certain hours.

Works pretty well. Do you really need to be boozing in a public park at 4am? probably not.

Just an example.

Some of these laws date back to the turn of the century when public drunkenness was a serious problem.

In Texas (yes, it's not the West) counties were allowed to determine alcohol sales law after prohibition ended. For that reason you'll find completely dry counties and everything in between.

Bought a flask years ago, have enough tolerance that i don't look like I'm drunk after 3-4 drinks. Also, I'm long past the age of acting like a fucking retard while drunk.

I agree with drinking and driving laws and the laws. Otherwise it should be treated as an aggravating factor (thus increase the penalties of a sentence), even worse if near children under 12, for disorderly conduct instead of it being illegal.

>>5491488

I don't see the point in removing such laws.

Why should anybody have to be subjected to someone else's drunken shenanigans?

Sure, if everyone were level-headed and responsible enough not to get wasted beyond control while in public, it'd be fine, but that's not the case, so that's why those laws exist.

>>5491625

So you are implying no one at all can handle being drunk and everyone will behave like shit while being drunk in public?

It’s essentially down to local councils to decide on here in occupied Britain.

My Town technically has it banned but after successive budget cuts they can’t afford to employ a Police presence anymore so…. You can drink wherever you want. You might also get stabbed but… You know.

>>5491621

I just came back from Ukraine and it seemed like no one batted an eye nor did anyone act retarded. They just drank in a clique and kept to themselves

>>5491652

Too many will behave like animals, guaranteed.

Want to walk in the park with your wife and children while people are shouting obscenities, pissing in public and brawling?

No thanks.

its more of an American thing

America can not function as a society unless its citizens are treated like 12 year olds incapable of coherent thought and reason

To all the people saying there would be drunk dipshits all over the streets if the law was removed:

I have seen endless videos of drunk/intoxicated as fuck people on American streets even though this law is active… They are there no matter whether you have such a law.

Drunk people start fights and break shit.

This happens because of alcohol's interaction with brain cell's GABA receptors which makes them much more likely to fail to pass on nerve impulses.

This necessarily means that a drunk's complex, higher functions (such as moral considerations) will fail long before more simple functions (such as the gross motor skills required to smash a pint glass into someone fucking face for vaguely looking in their direction).

Drinking in public is prohibited for very good reasons which are in total agreement with natural law (i.e. not having a pint glass smashed in your face or through your window by a fucking drunk).

Drink inside a public or private house you fucking dipsomaniacs.

>>5491683

If only there were a law which would allow such people to be arrested before-the-fact of their rowdy violence.

>>5491686

>>5491700

You guys say being drunk in public must be illegal yet you say owning guns must be legal because people will have guns anyways.

Protip: People will also be drunk on the streets anyways.

>>5491683

>I have seen endless videos of drunk/intoxicated as fuck people on American streets even though this law is active

I know it's difficult, but imagine what it would be like if it was not prohibited.

>>5491683

Yes, I'm sure there's no possibility wheresoever that removing the law wouldn't make it even worse.

>>5491652

>No one at all

But that's not what I said, at all.

Work on your reading comprehension, mate.

I live in southern Nevad Where you are welcome to walk down the famous Las Vegas strip with a handle in both hands and act like a mindless child. You're also welcome to get your shit pushed in when your u get arrested for being a fucking idiot.

>>5491686

Drinking in public != being totally fucking smashed

Honestly the laws don't really matter, I drink in public constantly.

>>5491709

People will always be murdered therefore murder should be legal.

Am I doing this right?

>>5491716

>Yes, I'm sure there's no possibility wheresoever that removing the law wouldn't make it even worse.

If you support such way of thinking you must also support european standard gun control since less people having guns apparantly would make gun crimes less.

It basically is the same story.

>>5491716

you dont get that a person who isnt autistic doesnt sit down in a chair and read the local penal code before downing 7 20 oz glasses of piss flavored budweiser and starting a fight

>>5491655

The current way things are here many crimes committed while drunk (IE: theft, indecent exposure) are treated less severely. Exactly because the courts consider a man not fully responsible for his actions when under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They might add counseling as part of the sentence but not necessarily.

My idea is to incite responsibility while drunk without punishing those who can drink and behave.

>>5491709

>>5491742

>Comparing alcohol to guns

Holy shit, you ARE an idiot.

The problem with prohibiting guns is that criminals and people intending to do harm to others won't give a shit about any laws, and if they wanted to acquire one they would do so though illegal means. If you forbid regular citizens from owning guns, you're robbing them of the chance of defending themselves.

How does alcohol even enter into the same category? They don't compare at all.

>>5491757

I'm comparing the scenario, not the guns to the alcohol you idiot.

You claimed that banning public drinking can't be bad as it could only possibly decrease the amount of public drinking.

If that's your way of thinking then that'd mean that banning guns could also only possibly decrease the amount of gun possession.

>>5491488

I have no sympathy for drunks and their retarded behavior.

Same thing with those fucks that whine on and on about how they can't have fun and go out anymore because the police are cracking down on drunk driving. How about you just don't drive drunk and endanger my neighborhood you degenerate ("b-but it feels good!") pleasure seekers.

>>5491749

This. Being drunk should be no excuse. If that lands someone in hot water for stupid behaviour, well bad luck then guess you'd better lay off the booze.

>>5491488

>what does /pol/ think of X

Alcohol should be outlawed.

All non necessary non prescription drugs should be outlawed. Which include marijuana, the MSM NEVER reports any of the negatives it brings, and there are a lot.

dont touch my bourbon you drongo looking cunt

Depends really. I like to drink a few beers/ciders in the park quite a lot, either late evenings on the weekends or if its a nice day in the summer go for a picnic/chill out in the park with beer.

Whether or not it is 'ok' largely has to do with 'how' you're drinking, as in what your intentions are. If you just want to get blind drunk and make a scene when other people would like to be out with their children, walking the dogs or playing sports; it's bad. If you are going to sit on a park bench with a bottle of vodka from 11am (something I've begun seeing in London due to all the subhuman eastern europeans invading), it's pretty off-putting. You stink, you're not social, you are a blot on the landscape and you are making women and children feel uneasy.

If they do the same thing after 9/10pm, I don't care. No one is around at night, enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful view of the stars (or more likely the clouds; this is England after all). Having police patrolling to stop people drinking in parks/ on street benches is a complete waste of tax-payer money.

Unfortunately the UK has recently taken an 'American' approach to law and as such has taken away common sense and replaced it with strict laws that try to cover all the angles (and ALWAYS have loop-holes). This means that police will (and do) harrass a couple of 75 year old men having a beer whilst they play a game of chess in the park at lunch time. Obviously the law is intended to stop scummy teenagers and unemployed people from ruining areas for families; but these new laws allow for no common sense.

In fairness though, having met way too many foreigners, most of which were filth; I have come to the conclusion that they are lacking any semblance of common sense; Indian shop-keepers IDing 50+ people, a black boss (shameful I know, gotta have dem quotas though) insisting that we do the job as his superior told him to the letter, despite the fact that it would clearly be easier/quicker to do it the 'common-sense way'; generic brown retailer refusing to sell spoons to people without proof that they are over 18.

Just mind-boggling stupidity, though I suppose it means those kind of all encompassing idiot-proof laws the Yanks are fond of are required. How the West has fallen. ;/

With niggers and other suhumans you can't legalize it. In an homogeneous white community it can be legalized without problems to worry about, like it was in the past.

My take on it, that It's a sensible set of laws and should be common sense to not wanting to be drunk in public. Anything can happen to you. However, I'm curious as to what's going on with people where you live that you're looking to be drunk any given hour of the day wherever you please? I mean, you're in Germany, don't you have bigger concerns than boozing in public? Why not use that time to press your government to pay the invaders to return to their homes?

>>5491488

A friend who has been to Switzerland told me you can drink alcohol in the streets.

Slide thread. It's not important.

http://8ch.net/faq.html

What is "sage"? Posters may reply to threads without bumping them to the top of the index by putting "sage" in the email field.

What happened with just common sense? You know, act accordingly to the environment. If there is children and families around, you fucking behave yourself, avoid fights, cursing and stuff.

Seems like the newer generations hasn't been taught that.

The only people who support bans on public drinking are green/leftists faggots so we must protect our right to public intoxication at all costs.

>>5498153

>What happened with just common sense?

Guess which part of the population has the most trouble with excessive drinking. Hint: It ain't the whites.

If you aren't causing shit I don't really see the issue other than it sets a bad example for the children. A normal dude stumbling home is a fine source of revenue for the city though, so it's unlikely to change right now. It's not dissimilar to small town speed traps where the entire pd, 2 or 3 cops just sit on the highway going in and out of town to write tickets for anyone going 1 mile over the limit.

I live in New Orleans.

Drink in Public = LEGAL!

Drunk in Public = LEGAL!

Smoke Weed in Public = LEGAL!

If you can do these things without otherwise making an ass of yourself, then I'm 100% fine with it.

Nothin' like sipping a nice martini while feeding ducks on a warm spring afternoon in the park.

It's called "freedom".

>>5491488

I've been drunk a few times in public but i never had a problem. Once when i was younger, i was drinking with some friends in a parking lot for my birthday and the cops were called, when they realised we weren't causing any troubles and didn't have drugs they advised us to go at a spot further down the road and wished me a happy birthday.
