Public intoxication and police

Public intoxication means being affected by alcohol (drunk) in public.

Laws about public intoxication changed in Victoria in November 2023. It is no longer against the law to be affected by alcohol in public.

Police and support workers can help you if you are affected by alcohol in public. They can only give you help if you agree to it. You do not have to agree to their help. If you agree to their help, you can change your mind.
