In Canada if your caught being intoxicated in public. In my province its like a 150 dollar fine, which they rarely even do that the the max they will do is fine you and maybe put in you in the drunk tank overnight (Depending on how much of a disturbance your causing). Nothing on your record though.

Drinking in public to is just a fine, no arrest

I heard in the US its a criminal offence and it actually goes on your record is that true? Same with drinking in public?Having to go to court and what not. Seems harsh
