I’m thinking in the U.S. and Canada. For example, if you’re on vacation, you’ve checked out of your hotel room and have several hours until your flight, and you have some cans of beer left over. I know you could sneakily drink them in a park or something, but I’m just curious if there’s any way to do it that’s legal.

      Don’t like the laws in your town? Your free to petition to change them.

      I’ve lived in places with drive-through liquor stores where I could buy a gin and tonic in a styrofoam cup and drive away.

        Oh dude, I’m Finnish.

        We have everyman’s rights.

        It makes me giggle a bit that the US, which frequently has fits about “freedom” is such an authoritarian state you can’t even drink on your own porch.

          I mean, it’s really about what someone will choose to enforce.
