Porch drinking OK'd by Iowa Supreme Court

porch

Good news, everybody! The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled that we may be drunk on our own porches. The verdict hinged on whether such spaces are always public.

If the front stairs of a family home were always considered a public place, it would create "absurd results" and make it a "crime to sit there calmly on a breezy summer day and sip a mojito" or even grill with "bourbon-infused barbecue sauce," the court concluded.

Everyone loves a supreme court justice who knows what's for lunch. via
