What's wrong with getting drunk?

January 11, 2009

A 36 y/o woman is out to have a good time. She goes to a bar, downs 7 drinks and then leaves. She wanders around in the cold before she makes it to a friend's house to continue her binge. The police are called to the private residence and find her clearly intoxicated, slurring her words and unable to stand upright.

What is the problem?

She didn't drive drunk. She wasn't violent. She didn't destroy her friends personal property.

Why the police?

Because she did all of the above with her 3-week-old infant. The police were called because she began to breastfeed.

What responsibility did the bar have?
