Then why do bars have parking lots ??

Seriously, The goal of the sting was to legitimize the existance of the task
force because they faced elimination if they did not take any action. Anyone
from texas can confirm this...

Furthermore, as in Virginia, they are preventing public intoxication. And
since a bar is a public place, would it be public urination to use the
restroom ?? All of this seems silly anyway, why says I can't have three
drinks in an hour and then have a cab take me home ?

One can also stay at the bar until the body has processed the alcohol as
well. And as someone mentioned before some bars have a hotel attached.
Not to mention walking home.

You can't walk home, you'll hurt yourself! Big brother won't let that
happen.... He also doesn't take kindly to liver damage...
