In one of my extrememly rare forays into criminal law
I defended the son of a colleague against a charge of public drunkenness. His true "crime" was a failure of the attitude test when confronted by the local police. This lead to not only arrest, but ultimately to an assault on a police officer charge, which became the really thorny issue. (The assault was allegedly effected via spittle).

People don't realize how the charges can pile up, even if they're sober!

Considering that it is illegal in many places, and often discouraged even when it isn't illegal, those responsible enough to limit their drinking probably avoid drinking at all in that situation.
