We should be all caught up now!
This issue was on the Today show this morning as well. Seems like Texas is cracking down on drinking. In bars. Read the story and I'm sure you'll be as amazed as I am.
First of all, I can't believe that this is actually legal. As a bar is a public place, you can be arrested for public intoxication in a bar. I see the TABC's point. They want to crack down on drunk driving. Lord knows Texas has it's fair share of drunk driving incidents. But to arrest people who are having a good time in a bar and haven't yet made it out to the parking lot seems a bit over the top. I hope all the publicity this story is getting makes the TABC calm down and leave the Texas drinkers alone!

For a state that has tried (somewhat) successfully to get smoking banned from bars, would you expect any less?
