I've been forced to censor all 5,300 citations of slang use.
With the penalty in place, there's just no way to compete on a level playing field

Definition of drunk tank
drunk tank
noun
- A holding cell for drunk people, usually a county jail.
See that po over there? Go through that side street. It's sketchy, but better than being thrown in the drunk tank.
