People arrested for being drunk... in bars!

This is of course taking place in.. Texas, (Where else?!) - the state that first re-elected George Bush.. and that also has the highest drink-driving figures in the United States. I'm thinking ... the two may very well be related.

In any case, the problem is not just that for the rest of the world, getting drunk in a bar is kind of.. 'normal' but it is mostly that you can get arrested even if you have a designated driver and are not planning to drive. And the funny thing is that authorities have been using "undercover cops". Isn't that a little bit too much? don't they have anything better to do? What's next? Prohibition?

Here's the MSNBC news video report.
