The current law in France states:
Il est interdit de se trouver en état d’ivresse manifeste dans les lieux publics, it is forbidden to find oneself in state of manifest drunkenness in public places (CODE DE LA SANTÉ PUBLIQUE : ART. R. 3353-1).
I love the idea of "finding oneself in a state of manifest drunkenness", how on Earth could that have happened?
