Gimme some Stella Art Toes

Elysia Johnson, 21, was arrested after she drank a six-pack of beer in a Target dressing room in California on Saturday, police say.

According to Lathrop Police Services, Johnson entered Target around 3:30 p.m. and placed several items in a shopping cart and basket.

Johnson walked around the store, grabbed a six-pack of Stella Artois beer, and headed to the dressing room.

For over an hour, cops say, she made the dressing room her personal bar and drank the entire six-pack of beer.

1. Was it cold?

Our Target doesn’t refrigerate alcohol. Warm beer? Blech.

4. Didn't say

Ours has some in coolers. But the local grocery store has more selection that Tar-zhay. Heck even some of the gas stations have more selection. Especially those in Wisconsin that have New Glarus.

6. As a recovering alcoholic(17 yrs)

Temperature is not a issue.

5. True

I worked at a Wally World for just about two years and if our store sold alcohol at the time I could easily have seen something like this happening.

3. What was the charge?

Can’t be shop lifting since she still could have paid. Probably public intoxication?

8. Consumtion at a take-away only location

Is generally a felony.

10. The full story says she was arrested after leaving the store with $200 of goods

7. I hope she gets the help she needs.

mid day binge drinking.

9. After 4pm on a Saturday is not 'mid day binge drinking'

It's prime time for drinking while watching sports. For a 21 year old woman, I'd suggest she was thinking of doing her drinking early and cheap (attempting to make it for free, probably) before heading out for Saturday evening.
