Under § 40-6-95, "[a] person who is under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug to a degree which renders him a hazard shall not walk or be upon any roadway or the shoulder of any roadway. Violation of this Code section is a misdemeanor and is punishable upon conviction by a fine not to exceed $500.00." As a misdemeanor, one charged with violating § 40-6-95 could receive up to 12 months in prison. Of course, that is the maximum possible sentence; the actual sentence one would likely receive depends on a number of variables that you should fully explore with a lawyer who is familiar with the judges and solicitors in your area.
