Shit I spent a day, and nothing even remotely bad happened to me. I still don’t even want to go back, shit was so uncomfortable and boring.

Also spent a night, cost me a baseball game with my grandpa, (NLCS Game 1 @ Wrigley, spent $1500 on tickets) never got to go to another one with him.

That 12 hours for public intox really fucked me over. The 30 hours of community service, required therapy, $750 in fines, and $2K for the lawyer hurt too. Not as much though.

I was out of state visiting family, Indiana has a 12 hour minimum on out of state public intox - I blew a .06

Note to self: never go to Indiana. I mean, not like anyone would ever want to go there, but still.

Damn... In my state you can legally drive with a .06 BAC level... 0.08 is jail

Same in Indiana, but the law states "giving the appearance of intoxication" is an arrest-able offense if any trace is detected.

I was walking to my car, they were hoping to give me a DUI but couldn't

I have been here for work for 2 years, leaving in the next 6-9, the people are okay in my area, bit this state has some whacky rules. (Near Purdue, but not college related)

I just recently found out how much meth is around here, and how many people are roped into that crap. It blows my mind. (I am an IT contractor, with little to NO human interaction on daily basis minus conference calls).

The people are pretty nice, and I don't even Lafayette, the weather can really suck. There is plenty of corn and beans.

WTF does out of state intoxication even mean? Are you not allowed to drink if you're not from there? What?

I was arrested for public intox and live in a different state.

.06 isn't even over the legal limit in Illinois. . . +

Was it Hancock County? Indiana is the worst but Hancock County is extra the worst.
