Local governments can enact laws against public nudity and drunkness. Public spaces can have signs posted prohibiting nudity and drunkenness, along with specifying any penalties for violation of the law. Police officers can also respond to calls involving these activities, or citing people who violate these ordinances. Furthermore, businesses such as bars and restaurants typically have policies against excessive drinking on their premises which can lead to the persons being asked to leave or even arrested if they do not comply.

Legal measures can be taken to prohibit socially inappropriate behaviors such as public nudity or excessive public drunkenness. This can include criminal laws such as public indecency laws, or local ordinances such as open container laws. In some cases, simple civil orders can be sought to ask individuals to refrain from certain activities, and these orders can have the force of law if not obeyed. Private proprietors may also seek to restrict certain activities on their property through contract law or evictions. Additionally, organizational groups (such as neighborhoods or business districts) may institute rules governing conduct within their area through homeowner’s associations or business improvement districts.
