The current law in France states: Il est interdit de se trouver en état d’ivresse manifeste dans les lieux publics, it is forbidden to find oneself in state of manifest drunkenness in public places (CODE DE LA SANTÉ PUBLIQUE : ART. R. 3353-1).
I love the idea of "finding oneself in a state of manifest drunkenness", how on Earth could that have happened?
- mdp2021 5y agoThe expression 'ivresse manifeste' is probably an odd euphemism for what in other legislations is more properly phrased as "bothersome drunkenness", to which "practical side" (bothersomeness) it adds a mandate for "decency", "to avoid being degrading" - which in French culture is probably felt more than other details and more than in other territories.
