An Experiment in Scotch

The only sur­pris­ing thing about this is that it took so long. Arrest­ing peo­ple inside bars who “appear” to be drunk (no objec­tive tests were ever given) is insult­ing and silly. In one case, a man was arrested at a hotel bar, the very hotel he was stay­ing in. Clearly, the goal of this oper­a­tion was not to keep peo­ple from dri­ving drunk but just an exer­cise in gov­ern­men­tal power, wrongly decided and poorly implemented.

Good rid­dance.
