I didn't want to be drunk in public. I wanted to be drunk in a bar.

The keywords alone were worth bookmarking on you last drunken rant thread. You should really give up the bottle, bro.
BTW, do not piss off (or on) the judge.
Judging by your recent posts & your about page, I strongly suggest you grow up. Right quick, too.
I think the "Democrat in you" has a drinking problem.
"Public drunkenness" is an offense in many juridictions, if someone complains. If you're pickled on your porch quietly, probably nobody would say anything, as long as you go to the bathroom inside. If you're shouting at the shrubbery, a neighbor is likely to call the cops, and the cops can arrest you.

Your porch may be private property, but if you stand out there naked, you would be arrested for public exposure.
Same idea. If your drinking behavior is causing a spectacle for your neighbors or the public driving by, you could expect to be in violation of the public peace.

The larger and way more serious issue here is of course the way alcohol has affected your life, and how it has managed to get you into the situation you find yourself in.
I think those are the answers you really need.
Please take some time to look inwards and reflect on this, and consider if it's a road you want to keep going down.
There are a lot of places, and loads of good people that can help you address your apparent need for alcohol... so I wish you all the best, and hope some of the good people here can add something useful to this.
It is my understanding that if you are in plain view outside – even if within your own yard or porch – you are “in public’ and subject to laws proscribing public drinking or drunkenness. The same would apply to laws against public nudity. If you are in plain view while setting on your porch – but you are nude – you are subject to arrest in jurisdictions with laws against public nudity.
Of course you won't be convicted of anything unless you were truely 'faced. Even then they should just let you sleep it off unless you give them trouble.
Cops have lots of discretion. They can arrest you in a bar if you have been drinking at all. They just don't, why would they.
The only public drunkeness arrests I've even witnessed was when someone was a danger to themselves (passed out covered in puke in the bed of their truck when the temp was heading for freezing, luckey he did'nt go for DUI) or causing all sorts of trouble.
For the record I 'marked' all four courners of my property the first night here. Two of the corners are on the yellow line of the street, it was at 3am so no arrests.
It depends on the laws where you live. Some places it is an arrestable offense. But, the cops usually don't enforce it unless there are neighborhood complaints and such.

Once there was an alcoholic lost in the desert. He was in real trouble, dying of thirst and exposure. Just as he was about to give up hope, he stumbled across a genie's lamp. He picked up the lamp and rubbed it. Out popped a genie who said "Looks like you could use a little help. Today's your lucky day! I'll grant you two wishes."
The alcoholic looks around at the blazing sand, licks his lips and says "I want a magic bottle of vodka that's always ice cold, and no matter how much I drink, it will fill itself back up again".
Genie says "Done!" as the bottle appears before him. The alcoholic cracks the top and chugs half the bottle, then watches as the level rises back up to the top. Wow, he thinks. This is great.
"And for your last wish?" the genie asks.
The alcoholic replies "I'll have another bottle just like the first!"
