The law varies by state/country. It really depends where you are. If you're evidently drunk and/or causing problems (ex: being very loud, shouting at strangers) you might be stopped or arrested. If you stay calm and act normal they won't be able to prove it unless they run a drug test of some sort.
Added: Usually (but not always) Public Drunkenness is chargeable under the Disorderly Conduct statutes (Misdemeanor) or some other "public order" statute or ordnance.

∙ 14y agoIn the UK yes it is, although no action is usually taken unless you are too drunk to look after yourself or you are disturbing others. In the US it is also illegal to be intoxicated in a public venue. This include bars and night clubs or any other establishment that serves alcohol. Generally if you are not drawing attention to yourself or presenting a danger to yourself or the public you will not be arrested.
