⚖️ What Is Public Intoxication in Alabama?
Under Alabama law (§13A-11-10), public intoxication occurs when someone appears in a public place under the influence of alcohol or drugs to the degree that they pose a danger to themselves, others, or property—or disturb the peace.
You can be arrested even if:
- You weren’t driving
- You weren’t causing harm
- You were simply walking home
