I mentioned earlier that Texas was arresting drunks in bars and now they have stopped. My favorite part, emphasis mine:
But recent media reports that drunks were being arrested in bars provoked both ridicule and anger around the world and, perhaps more importantly, complaints from hotels, restaurants and bars in Texas who said it could hurt business.
I like that people mocked it but that it angered people, awesome. People love their booze!
