public intoxication

The appearance of a person who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol in a place open to the general public.

• In most American jurisdictions, public intoxication is considered a misdemeanor, and in some states, alcoholism is a defense if the offender agrees to attend a treatment program. [Cases: Chemical Dependents 4.1.]
