This list is not meant to be exhaustive, but it indicates the kind of evidence that supports certain elements of criminal charges involving intoxication. See Striplin v. City of Dothan, 607 So.2d 1280 (Ala.Cr.App. 1991), rev'd on other grounds sub nom. Ex parte City of Dothan, 607 So.2d 1283 (Ala. 1992) (evidence held sufficient to support conviction of public intoxication where police officer observed that defendant was unsteady on her feet, that her speech was slurred, and that she was belligerent in her conduct toward the store attendant when asked to leave); Hargrove v. City of Rainbow City, 619 So.2d 944 (Ala.Cr.App. 1993) (police officer testified that he smelled alcohol on the defendant's breath, that the defendant's eyes were glassy, and that his speech was confused); Raper v.State, 584 So.2d 544 (Ala.Cr.App. 1991) (conviction of DUI supported by sufficient evidence where the defendant's eyes were glassy, his speech was slurred, and he had trouble determining where he was when asked by police officer who had known the defendant for 10 years). Since 1909, with one brief exception, it has been the law of this State that one could not sell alcohol to visibly intoxicated persons.
