An English court has ruled that David Peers is not allowed to be drunk anywhere in England or Wales until 2016. Peers has been charged 11 times for his drunken anti-social behavior, and has been arrested for fighting, verbally abusing town residents, and occasionally urinating on shop windows.

.08 doesn't mean you're drunk. It means you can't drive a car. A hard-core alcoholic probably wouldn't be "drunk" at .08, for example.

I don't know about the UK, but in the USA - if I understand the law correctly - technically it is not illegal to be drunk. Only D&D or DUI/DWI. Or passed out (aka sleeping) in public where you shouldn't be. So, if you can restrain yourself from climbing the bus stop lamppost, can prove you gave your car keys to your neighbor's (neighbour's) pet marmoset, and don't make anybody call the EPA because your breath is making people within a two mile radius pass out, you're g

here in britan we have this thing known of as an ASBO, I dunno if you have anything similar in the US.

Asbos are issued by magistrates courts (sheriffs courts in scotland).
This person has shown that when drunk he is very disorderly so has been given an ASBO banning him from getting drunk.
