§ 4.06.010. Intent and purpose.
Latest version.
This section is intended to provide for the safety, welfare and health of the public. Being publicly intoxicated makes a person vulnerable to injury, robbery, assault, and a number of other dangers. This section addresses the behavior of the individual, rather than his or her blood alcohol content level, thus encouraging responsible behavior while consuming alcohol. This provides benefit to the individual and the public.
