(I think you omitted "and then driving" as I have seen no evidence that
there is any stigma attached to being drunk, per se, in the UK. :-) Indeed I
have been the beneficiary(?) of public drunkenness, having been soundly
kissed (in the West End) by a rather good looking bride-to-be who clearly
was drunk enough to overlook my distinct lack of the hunk nature.)
