Bottoms Up!



Drunkenness is not a crime! At least not in Minnesota...Although, it's usually the drunkenness that makes you do things you CAN get arrested for.From: http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/stats/340A/902.html" 340A.902 Drunkenness not a crime. No person may be charged with or convicted of the offense of drunkenness or public drunkenness.
