[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 601897, member: 60724"] Mince the words and laws all you want, but the solid facts are: Bar = Public Place. Public Intoxication = Illegal Therefore, Intoxication within a Bar = Illegal *AND * Designated Rest Room in public venue = Public Place Public Urination = Illegal However, Urination in Public Rest Room = Legal Is it a contradiction, yeah, on the surface, but there is one MAJOR DIFFERENCE...A Public Rest Room is a DESIGNATED EXCEPTION to the public urination law...it is the ONE public place urination is allowed, and everyone knows it! There is no publically designated drunk area. That's why the analogy and seeming contradiction don't hold weight. A Bar is NOT a designated public intoxication area...though clearly some want it to be, or be an exception area to the PI law. TJR [/QUOTE]
