    It has always been that way. The bartender is the one who will refuse to serve you any more liquor. Then you turn to your sober designated driver who has been drinking Pepsi all night to take you home to sleep it off.

    Not sure who ?they are ?
    But if you are on probation, some of the rules of probation is not drinking at all, not going into anywhere that serves drinks, and so no. Have heard of no change in that

    Please rephrase your question in a more understandable way. You are stringing together different 'freedoms' in one sentence. Free to drink doesn't mean free to drive with booze in you.

    You are free to drink and take the consequences of being sent to prison or losing your license for good.
    You are free to purchase alcohol if of age.

    A state is free to arrest/fine/imprison you for driving with a certain amount of alcohol in you, or send you back to prison for violating probation.
    A store or bar is free to refuse to sell you alcohol unless it's one of the Civil Rights reasons solely.

    These are all based on laws demanded by your fellow citizens. Sorry you weren't one of them, but you have to accept what the majority wants. That's how democracy works. The alternatives are much worse. You could go to a country run by dictatorship.

    You heard wrong.

    Do you, by the way, have a question?
