A drunken man, however big, has advantages all his own. Being drunk, his reflexes will be impaired; that limits his ability to put up a fight. It also affects his memory, making it likely he won't remember whoever robbed him, and if he did, offering a clear opening for any public defender to blow holes in his testimony.

As for the cops - I really think they ought to be focusing on the larger issues of the community than people who are causing no trouble or harm to anyone. Just let them walk it off.

They have great potential to cause trouble, though. They could run across the aforementioned people looking for an easy score. They could also destroy property, go looking for trouble themselves, wander off a sidewalk into the path of an oncoming car, or just fall off a bridge somewhere. That and people generally don't want drunks walking around near them.
There are plenty of legitimate reasons for public intoxication laws to exist, and for the police to enforce them.

Jail capacity doesn't really matter; city treasuries are always in need of filling, though.
