At Least 36 Arrested for New Year Revelry

A paltry 30 -- 30! -- people were arrested in San Francisco for public intoxication on New Year's Eve around Broadway, Market Street and the Embarcadero. (Needless to say, we're sad to see that number isn't higher. Did any of you even go out that night? The economy can't be that bad, can it? Live a little. Sheesh.) The California Highway Patrol, however, reports 84 drivers were pinched in the Bay Area for suspicion of driving under the influence of booze and/or drugs from 6 p.m. Wednesday through 6 a.m. Thursday. Last year only 41 people were arrested from driving while tipsy.
