[Name of defendant] was intoxicated, and [name of defendant] endangered the safety of another [person] [property]. 2. [Name of defendant] was intoxicated or drank any alcoholic beverage in a [public place] [in or upon a public conveyance] and caused a public disturbance. DEFINITION: Intoxication means more than merely being under the influence of an alcoholic beverage.

Intoxication is synonymntal faculties or botous with drunk. OPTIONAL DEFINITIONS: 1. The defendants admission that the defendant drank an alcoholic beverage is not sufficient by itself to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was under the influence of an alcoholic beverage but this admission may be taken into consideration along with other evidence. 2.

Please see the statute, however, because it looks like there are not 2 elements as above but rather they are alternative elements.
