It's good they exist so that idiots in the city bar hopping will at least keep the sloppiness mostly inside the establishments.
It's bad they exist for reasons like yours, one guy drinking one beer and having to walk down the sidewalk to the neighbors. You probably could technically have avoided it by just walking through the neighbors front lawns (private property) instead of taking the sidewalk. |

I have no problem walking down the block in my neighborhood with a beer. Do it fairly often when the neighbors down the street have a get together.
None of my town cops are gonna harass someone walking to a neighbors house with a beer. Now if I was shirtless and stumbling it might be different. |

You can drink anything else in public, why not beer?
Also, having been a late swing shift worker at one time, I too wonder why beer at 4am cannot be had. |

If you decide to bring your beer along, good manners dictate you should show up with one for the kid's friend's dad too.

Nope.
A guy that worked for me was sitting in his truck, in a Very remote dump, watching the bears eat the trash. His truck was off and he had an open beer and was busted for the dreaded "open container". Total BS. Just more .gov interference in our lives. |

No, but it doesn't really twitch my give-a-fuck-o-meter all that much. I'm not going to make it my mission in life to correct it, because it's just not worth the effort.
It's kind of like blue laws prohibiting the purchase of booze on Sunday. If it's put to a vote, I'll vote to allow it. But as a practical matter, I'm really not that inconvenienced by it. |

In most states you can be charged for having an open container depending on the LEO.
The container needs to be in the vehicle. As far as having a open container at a store supplying alcohol its to protect the store owner and the employees. Mort stores here have signs indicating the said laws. I have seen assholes open beer cans while standing in line. If the NH Alcohol inspector had been there, the store would have lost their license. The cashier would have been fined by the state for not reporting the event. Here in NH. They set up the cashiers by having underage buyer use false IDs made by the state to entrap the cashier. I had a favorite cashier who everybody liked get fucked over by the state. She lost her job. Charged and fined by the state because of the false ID made by the State. The know that the cashiers dont have the money to get a lawyer to fight this entrapment policy. |

They are the product of an impossible to inforce law. MAD wanted to make it illegal to drink and drive (even if you were not intoxicated). Almost impossible for the police to actually witness a drink. So now an open container = drinking. So now it is also illegal to drink and ride
No, I think they are bullshit. Enforce reckless driving, add additional penalties if alcholol is involved. Don't make everything associated with your sin illegal. --- Pretty sure it is state law in Texas. Cities have Exposed container laws, hence everything must be bagged. Like a paper bag stops a bum from drinking. |

I'm not a fan of such laws, but I had to laugh at a segment of COPS I saw one time. The police and camera crew were on a call, standing in the street in front of a house talking with a bunch of people. All of a sudden, a shirtless guy with a beard and a mullet, completely unconnected to the original incident, comes strolling by holding a beer. One of the cops sees him and places him under arrest
. Imagine that, drinking a beer one afternoon, see a bunch of cops at your neighbors' house, decide to go see what's going on, end up arrested .

Not a problem where I live, Georgia is one of the half-dozen states without an "open container in public law". Title 40 (OCGA 40-6-253) only applies to motor vehicles and traffic. On the other hand, there is no statewide preemption of local laws as there is with knives and firearms.
