I'm actually going to disagree with that. I've watched a lot of COPS (Yes, that counts as research and no, I'm not proud of the fact that I've watched so much but what can I say, I lead a decadent lifestyle) and the drunk people are, more often that not, always really freakin' combative.

If I were a cop, I'd feel much safer arresting someone who was stoned than someone who has that superhero mentality that alcohol gives some people.
