Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Crim.) 30.1
DISORDERLY INTOXICATION
§ 856.011, Fla. Stat.
To prove the crime of Disorderly Intoxication, the State must prove the following two elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Give a or b as applicable.
a. 1. (Defendant) was intoxicated, and
2. [He] [She] endangered the safety of another [person] [property].
b. 1. (Defendant) was intoxicated or drank any alcoholic beverage in a [public place] [in or upon a public conveyance] and
2. [He] [She] caused a public disturbance.
“Intoxication” means more than merely being under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. Intoxication means that the defendant must have been so affected from the drinking of an alcoholic beverage as to have lost or been deprived of the normal control of either [his] [her] body or [his] [her] mental faculties, or both. Intoxication is synonymous with “drunk.”
Optional Definition.
A “public place” is any place intended or designed to be frequented or resorted to by the public.
