so says sources in Texas, over 2,000 people have been arrested since they started doing this.

This doesn't sound like a ploy to meet a quota

This is the Republic of Texas you're talking about here. "It's like a whole 'nother country."

Well said Jazz, couldn't agree more!

First of all it is NOT silly to arrest people for being drunk.

Drunk people are stupid and dangerous.

Drunk people are violent.

Drunk people will not only be violent with their families and friends if they are drunk enough, but also throw up all over the place and be generally insulting to you.

Did I mention that drunk people are stupid and dangerous?

Drunk people "glass" you.

Drunk people punch innocent sober people for no reason at all.

Some drunk people think they are big and clever and attack people for fun including raping women.

Drunk people are yobbos.

Drunk people do not have anything that constitues a brain because they end up drinking it all away.

Drunk people become alcoholics and end up with a drink problem.

Drunk people drink their lives away and end up dead. 

Drunk people will tell you they "love" you when they are drunk, even if when they are sober they don't.

Drunk people lie to everyone. 

Drunk people are the main cause of problems in the North-East that leads to a lack of hospital beds for people who actually needed it, like victims of heart problems, etc, who end up dying because they ended up having to wait for beds on Saturday nights because of fights involving and being caused by drunk people and drunk teenagers who have been taken into hospital for drinking too much. (This has actually been highlighted on our local news a lot lately.)

Drunk people are boring anyway because they have nothing intelligent to say.  A glass or two is fine.  Being tipsy and a almost drunk is fine but just going out to get all out drunk on a regualr basis indicates you have a real problem and need serious help.

Don't believe me?  Give it a few years.  I grew up with this shit so I know what effect being drunk has on you.  First you are in denial.  Then you stay in denial.  Then you try to get help but fail. Then you lose all your friends.  Then you lsoe all your family.  Then, you lose your home and have nothing except the drink which you pissed your 54 years away on.  Then you end up in a homeless shelter with tramps and alcoholics, even though you had the most beautiful home, wife, family, work and life of anyone you knew and that everyone was jealous of.  Then you die.  THAT for one is a true story, so if anyone doesn't understand why I am so passionate and angry about being drunk it's because of that.

"watch out for my cousin.."

Redbull can be dangerous.  If I drink too many of them I get really sick.  For my sister's 20th birthday we went to Windsor and when we were at the bar my other sister ordered Jaeger Bombs which are redbull and jaeg.  Well, the bartender first pointed out that we were from the States then said that it's illegal for bars in Canada to serve Redbull.  (Someone correct me if I am wrong, but that wasn't the first time that I heard that) I know in the States there are some bars that have Redbull on tap. 

When I was in undergrad, there were a bunch of students in Ann Arbor, something like 5 or so, that died from drinking Redbull and alcohol.  I don't like to drink Redbull with liquor, it makes me feel very strange.  I'll stick with Red Headed Sluts if I am going to do shots.
