According to the Liquor Licence and Control Act, where is it prohibited to be intoxicated?

The Liquor Licence and Control Act establishes regulations pertaining to the consumption of alcohol and its effects in various settings to ensure public safety. Being intoxicated in places open to the public and common areas of multi-dwellings is considered prohibited because these areas can encompass a wide range of environments where public interaction occurs, such as parks, streets, and shared living spaces. This restriction aims to maintain public order and prevent disturbances that may arise from intoxicated individuals in communal settings.

In contrast, being intoxicated in private residences does not impact the public directly, which is why it is not included in the prohibition. Licensed establishments are monitored more closely, and while patrons may become intoxicated there, the establishments themselves are responsible for managing their clientele, making this setting different from public places.
