1. The' evidence is sufficient to authorize the conviction.

2. In the absence of written request, it is not reversible error for the court to fail to charge on the subject of impeachment of witnesses.

3. Where the question as to whether a person was or was not - drunk at sundown on a given day was in issue, it was not error to admit testimony that he “seemed to be drinking” at about half past 2 o’clock that afternoon. Judgment affirmed.
