The law that dates back to 1872 means you could risk a fine up to £200
Drinkers in pubs across the country could find themselves falling victim to a little known 150-year-old law. It's not uncommon for older laws to sometimes render specific, every day actions as illegal - and, unbeknownst to most pub goers, they might find themselves breaking the law by having an extra pint or glass of wine.
The outdated section of the act continues: 'Every person found drunk in any highway or other public place, whether a building or not, or on any licensed premises, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten shillings, and on a second conviction within a period of twelve months shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty shillings, and on a third or subsequent conviction within such period of twelve months be liable to a penalty not exceeding forty shillings.
