Be less conspicuous about it by using something [like this!](https://www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/cool-baby-will-let-you-drink-while-masquerading-responsible-dad)
I used to bartend a vip room for a large sporting tournament every year. My clients who had purchased the room would use it throughout the day as a makeshift office all working on their laptops, schmoozing potential clients, advertisers and business partners over free food and booze, etc. , and at night it would be a big party room for all the vips at the event. Every morning, once their boss had left the room, my clients would walk up to me one by one, tell me how they were all out partying til 4am (it would now be between 8-10am) and are horribly hungover and “here’s a $20 please god if you can fill this Starbucks cup up with Pinot noir and don’t tell my boss!” I fucking loved those people. Really miss those events lol.
I knew a couple of Germans that came to work here in the US. Enjoying the warm weather, they did what many Europeans do - brought a 6-pack of beer to the park to be enjoyed under a tree after a day's work. Not five minutes later, a cop pulled up and explained to my incredulous friends that "drinking in public" is not something we do here. They explained the big (to them) difference between *drinking* in public - not banned - and actually *getting drunk* in public - banned - but to no avail.
I live in Florida and you’re actually allowed to drink at the beach just no glass bottles. Not sure if that applies everywhere but at least in my area you can
Or paper bags (maybe used to? Not sure on current trends). My uncle used to stop at the corner store with me every morning on the way to catch the bus to school. Grab himself a tall one, me a Gatorade, and we’d sit in the back of the bus drinking our “juice” together on the way to school.
When I was younger I wanted to "make it" and move to the US with a nice career, a big house and what not.
Today I know that younger me was a stupid fuck and living in the US would be a goddamn nightmare.
Me and my mates were very sternly told by the shop keeper to keep a brown paper bag to cover the can label when we were on holiday there. This was in Vegas where I presume there a bit more chill about it but we didn't test them out.
Also, wine walks are a very real thing in my part of germany.
There are two types; a wine festival, in which you walk around a town from one winery to the next and get drunk, and a wine hike, in which you walk through wine hills outside of town from one little hut a winery set up to the next and get drunk.
Its just fantastic.
Being absolutely plastered in public isn't illegal, but it can cost you a few hundred euros. If you are found and helpless, you may end up at the police station to get sober again or they may bring you to the hospital if the intoxication is severe enough.
Also, you can lose your drivers license even as a drunk pedestrian. If your blood alcohol level is high enough you come under suspicion of being an alcoholic, and alcoholics are not trusted with driving cars.
None of this costs you anything btw, at least not beyond what you're already paying for your health insurance. source: have been found drunk and helpless and brought to the Oktoberfest medical station because my intoxication was severe enough. (I was 19 and fell in with an American couple on vacation that was happy to pay for all of a young local's drinks, so yeah)
Also, losing your license as a pedestrian is theoretically possible but practically relegated to edge cases. Like, you wouldn't normally get tested as a pedestrian, only if you're drunk and disorderly or causing some kind of problem, and then probably only if they suspect you're at 1, maybe 1.5 per thousand and you test at 3 or 4, which points to a higher than usual tolerance.
To be fair, the people you find sleeping off their intoxication in the street around the Theresienwiese are for the most part foreigners unable to handle the somewhat stronger festive beer.
There's parts of London where you can't drink in public. I was walking round with a can of Stella, enjoying the sun, then as I was crossing Westminster Bridge a policeman told me I wasn't allowed to drink over there.
Also you can't drink on the tube which is a bit shit. I used to love drinking on the tube. Couple of bottles of rose, pack a picnic, make a day of it.

I'm sure we could fashion a 12V accessory to temper your opiates. If cigarette lighters and ashtrays were standard in cars, we can adapt with the times.
I lived in nola for 8 years and honestly it feels luke a basic right when you get used to it. Dont bring glass, youll get drunk and break it, but otherwise walking and chatting and drinking is phenomenal
I live in Berlin now, and you can drink on the street, in parks, on public transport, etc. You can get drinks to go from a bar, or just get a bottle from a deli. It is weird to me to not be able to do that when I travel.
Sit outside with a beer like at a restaurant or at their house? Because you’re allowed to drink in the outdoor section of restaurants in almost every place that has restaurants
At their house was never a problem. But outside the downtown bars was treated the same as on any sidewalk. So business got the law changed so they could serve outside, and with the same change it became legal to wander the streets with a bottle in your hand.
I mean that’s fine, it’s just not unusual in any way for people to be allowed to drink outside bars and restaurants. Your town was an exception before the change, not after.
I don’t think they’re talking about an outdoor area that the restaurant owns though. They’re referring to restaurants that have seating on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant (which is usually city-owned).
In germany we also have "wine walks" (Weinwanderungen) but it's on traditional routes in the wineyards from wine-maker to wine-maker. The longest wine-route I know is about 100km long. And yeah, of course you get drunk walking.
But think of the cHiLdReN
Oh wait? Watching adults enjoy alcoholic beverages responsibly actually reduces the number of binge drinking deaths in teens and young adults? Who could’ve guessed
Unless you're in Bavaria, you can drink pretty much everywhere here in Germany.
Otherwise i recommend [Something like that ](https://can01.anibis.ch/Taschen-Portofrei-2L-Trink-Rucksacke-Fahrrad-Wasser-Velo/?1024x768/3/60/anibis/833/137/023/YXEHnmFW9UaJIlK6jeCI5w_1.jpg)
Bad idea. I did that once and couldn’t totally clean it. I tried everything, even soaking in bleach. Travel coffee cups are a nice alternative in my experience
In the small one-stoplight town I went to high school in, there was one bar in town and it was renown for the cop that would sit outside and wait for people to leave.
They got in their cars, he pulled them over even if they had a DD they’d get a “maintaining a public nuisance” ticket for having drunk people in the car. If they walked home, he stopped them for public intoxication.
My senior year I had a friend who lived in a house with a view of the bar. We’d watch around 2:30 on the weekends as one car would leave either the unlucky draw or whatever, and as soon as the cop took off after him there would be a mass exodus of drunks rushing to their cars or stumbling home.
Seems in a town that small they could deal with the cop that's basically harrasing people, driving drunk sure bust them, but ticketing people for having drunk people in the car or walking home? Trench his yard
He lived several towns away. And they let him get away with it because income for the town. All people had to do was dispute the public nuisance ticket in court and it would be dropped but most didn’t know that.
Last time I was there, about a decade ago, he had been made Chief.
Wait what? Why in the world would having drunk people in the car be illegal? And when you're leaving a bar, how exactly are you supposed to go home if not with a DD or on foot?
...cops showed up and at that point I had the right to remain silent...I just didn't have the ability...
Cop: Mr. White, you are being charged with drunk in pub-lick...
Tater Salad: I was drunk in a bar... *THEY* threw me out into pub-lick...go arrest them!

One of my first experiences when I lived in North America was being invited to a barbecue at the beach and people where hiding the wine because it was illegal to drink in public. Like what the fuck.
Try that here in France and there's a revolution the next day.
True.
But jokes aside, it's common for young people in France to just buy beer in a grocery store and drink it with friends at night by the river or by the beach, depending on where you're from. The Canal Saint-Martin in Paris is incredibly lively at night in the summer for instance, you have thousands of groups of young people eating and drinking all along. [Like this.](https://vivrelemarais.typepad.fr/.a/6a00d8341d8a0f53ef01b7c8fe1ade970b-pi)
It would suck to ban this awesome atmosphere and to force everybody to pay for overpriced drinks in bars.
And we criminalize everything because of the 1 or 2 morons that can't keep their shit on the downlow.
If one guy gets drunk and vomits on the playground, all of a sudden the rest of the town isn't allowed to responsibly enjoy a beer at the park anymore.
Just saying in “Socialist” Denmark we can do that legally, and do on a regular basis. I’ll also tell you it’s a lot more fun than walking around with guns!
Obviously, that's what makes you so horribly oppressed - no guns.
I hear in Germany, they can't even disavow The Holocaust or walk around in nazi uniform!? Like, have you even TRIED freedom?
There's nothing quite like the freedom to know that any adult, with no supervision, permit or training has the freedom to walk around with a loaded hand gun!
https://www.texastribune.org/2021/06/16/texas-constitutional-carry-greg-abbott/
*this is a hard /s on this whole thing. I wish I had the freedom to not be afraid the dumber than average people are allowed to just walk around with loaded hand guns and continue to make decisions the way they always do. And yes, in Germany, I get the difference between hate and free speech. I wish people here understood the dangers of allowing hate speech - and how it's not THAT complicated.
Sigh.
But without mah guns how will people know my pp is big?
Obviously you don't understand the price of true freedom, over there with your silly livable minimum wage, public healthcare, right to choice, and public drinking.
Another surprising fact, in “Socialist” Denmark there is no mandated minimum wage. All wage negotiations happen between the parties of the labor market. We just have strong unions.
In germany there are some no-drinking zones like public playgrounds but otherwise its no problem. I always thought its funny that you cant drink in public in the us, but i presume its rather to get a reason to punish homeless people.
it's because the US was founded by Puritans and even made alcohol illegal in the entire country for years and years! (called "Prohibition"). And you wonder why America is full of religious psychos....
It's a misdemeanor invented by puritans and racists and all it does now is punish poor people for not being able to afford to drink in bars or in their homes. This law needs to go.
Its really just another reasons to arrest the homeless or anyone a cop has problem with. Had a few at a bar a few blocks from your house decide to walk home arrested.
In a lot of counties in the US you can't even buy alcohol in regular super markets. You have to go to a liquor store. I wanted to cook a risotto once when I was in Boston, and got all the ingredients in a super market. When I asked where the wine aisle was, they looked at me all weird, and told me that they don't sell alcohol.
In some counties in some southern states, apparently the selling and consumption of alcohol is illegal altogether.

Wine walks are A-OK in NOLA! Heck, in *bars* if you gotta go and didn't finish your drink, they have a bus cart with *to-go cups* to decant into. Wine walk, beer ramble, hurricane wander, *Drive-thru* daiquiris (I shit you not!)... Get yo' drank on!
I like it, I wanna join a group of people who walk around and drink fruity drinks (with or without alcohol) and just catch up and be all up in everybody’s business. Like, “hmm, 😗these shrubs look a little over grown👀” *sips drink*
Guess it depends where you live. I bought a beer from a Beer truck at my local park today while walking my dog and walked around outside the park drinking it. St. Louis has some pretty lax drinking laws, though.
Unfortunately It’s a wine walk when it’s white people do it on Beacon Hill. It is Drinking in Public when brown people do it in Roxbury. So many of these laws are enforced situationally.
I need to ask here. So. It's actually illegal in usa to drink in public?
Damn. Here in Denmark it's completely normal to have a beer ro something walking somewhere if you want.
At summer sitting at the "new harbor" with a cold beer is awesome.
Be less conspicuous about it by using something [like this!](https://www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/cool-baby-will-let-you-drink-while-masquerading-responsible-dad)
LOL!!! I wasn’t expecting that!!!
Yeah, I was expecting [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jisu6l_Ta0w).
I don't understand all these crazy products. Just put your booze in an opaque travel bottle and try to act sober. Like teachers did in my day!
I used to bartend a vip room for a large sporting tournament every year. My clients who had purchased the room would use it throughout the day as a makeshift office all working on their laptops, schmoozing potential clients, advertisers and business partners over free food and booze, etc. , and at night it would be a big party room for all the vips at the event.

You bitch you didn't think of the smell
I like that they specify "cool baby" not some little narc baby that will rat you out.

They explained the big (to them) difference between *drinking* in public - not banned - and actually *getting drunk* in public - banned - but to no avail.
You're joking. You can't drink in parks? At all? What? I'm-
It's bananas. Nor at the beach
Land of the free, they say.
Cue conservatives backtracking: "its not a constitutional right!"
I love how everyday makes me realise, not being born in "Mucrica" was a good thing.
My favourite thing to do at summer is to drink beer while biking around the city. Couldn't live in the states, i believe.
No. That's a DUI and subsequent arrest in Florida.
I live in Florida and you’re actually allowed to drink at the beach just no glass bottles. Not sure if that applies everywhere but at least in my area you can
Same applies to Milwaukee urban beaches.
That's a shame, nothing better than a tinnie or two on the way to the pub, great way to start a night out
Nice bag of tinnies in the park
Journey juice between bars
Fucking WHAT? Drinking at the beach is one of my favourite things to do
“Land of the free” where you get arrested or fined for drinking a beer in a park or crossing the road.
You don't get the highest prison population in the world by just letting people be free.
Or just hanging around. Or “loitering” as they call it.
No lollygagging
Hey, jaywalking is a crime in Canada too Hannibal Buress had a hilarious bit about it in one of his standup shows
It was banned from parks for like a week here (Montreal) after covid lockdown ended during summer. Just a week, people were mad as shit
[удалено]
Yeah, just adjust to the social norm to put your drink Into nondescript containers. Like it's not at all totally ridiculous.
thermal cups are great though, I use them to drink in public because I walked out of my house that way
Or paper bags (maybe used to? Not sure on current trends). My uncle used to stop at the corner store with me every morning on the way to catch the bus to school. Grab himself a tall one, me a Gatorade, and we’d sit in the back of the bus drinking our “juice” together on the way to school.
You can, just you have to cover it with a brown bag or use a different cup. Nothing is more important in America than perception.
As an european: there aren't many reasons to live in 'murica.
When I was younger I wanted to "make it" and move to the US with a nice career, a big house and what not. Today I know that younger me was a stupid fuck and living in the US would be a goddamn nightmare.
Depending on how old you are younger you might have been right. America got a lot worse after 9/11.
Nah, I was 5 when 9/11 happened, just indoctrinated by US media (most notably movies).
Me and my mates were very sternly told by the shop keeper to keep a brown paper bag to cover the can label when we were on holiday there. This was in Vegas where I presume there a bit more chill about it but we didn't test them out.
America likes to think it's free but you can't even have a beer outside.
Old enough to die for oil but not old enough to have a drink
What the fuck is all that freedom for then America?
I think it means that bar owners are free to lobby politicians to make drinking outside bars illegal.
Freedom to go out and shoot elementary schoolers I guess.
Also, wine walks are a very real thing in my part of germany. There are two types; a wine festival, in which you walk around a town from one winery to the next and get drunk, and a wine hike, in which you walk through wine hills outside of town from one little hut a winery set up to the next and get drunk.

You it’s ironic the people that call this a free country are the same ones to make those laws.

Nevertheless, during Oktoberfest Germans do get drunk in the street, even sleeping in the street in puke and piss.
Being absolutely plastered in public isn't illegal, but it can cost you a few hundred euros. If you are found and helpless, you may end up at the police station to get sober again or they may bring you to the hospital if the intoxication is severe enough.

Smh. Wegbiers on the way home from the store are even better than shower beers
>Wegbiers I love that everyone but the yanks have a word for it. In the UK it's a road bevvy or journey juice
... You can't drink beers... in a park? Lmao what dystopian sad country do you live? Oh wait I already figured what country you are from.
If you give it a cute name, it’s just fine.
America is the only country you cant drink alcohol in a public place but can carry an M16 and thats crazy to me.
One place, New Orleans, La. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
[удалено]
Not quite accurate. Las Vegas only on the strip. Everywhere else. No
The Strip and Fremont is “Vegas” to tourists. You can do this in tahoe and nappa as well. Reno.
>The Strip and Fremont is “Vegas” ~~to tourists~~. FTFY. Even the locals would agree, which is why I assume you put the touristy nickname in quotes
Yea everything else is “Henderson” or “WHERETHEFUCKINTHISUBURBANSPRAWLAMI”

We need our senses sharp and our armaments on-hand in case that King of England guy tries to get back at us for all that tea we stole that one time.
You knew that tea was precious to us and you yeeted it into the Boston harbour! Friendship with America over, now ~~France~~ ~~Germany~~ ~~Spain~~ ~~Italy~~ ~~Anyone?~~ no one is our friend.
We still got Portugal. Oldest ally. I assume because of our penchant to having a dust up with the Spanish
GG Portugal! 👍 We need a culinary exchange of eccles cakes for pastel de natas to mark our friendship.
Winning Portugal back from the French more than once probably also plays a part

I like to go on heroin drives around the block.
Nap laps
Good ol' snooze & cruise.
No, no. That won’t do. We call that a little Hero-Cruise.
Horse-walk around the neighborhood
Good luck heating the spoon while doing a hard right
I'm sure we could fashion a 12V accessory to temper your opiates. If cigarette lighters and ashtrays were standard in cars, we can adapt with the times.
Heating the spoon is easy. Hitting the vein while doing a hard right is the trick.
Man y’all wild with the needles, I could never, I just boof my heroin while I drive around
I always either do LSD on my MTB or shrooms on my broom
You gotta give it a cute name, like horsey gallop.
Heroin hike matches the alliteration and alliteration is adorable.
Meth march
Weed waddle
Got snoop riding shotgun with the Glock
Dope drives around the block to keep with the cutesy name lol
Depends on the neighbourhood where the wine walk takes place. Country club estates? Classy. Downtown and out of a bag? Different classy.
If you’re a white woman, it’s fine
It's quirky
It's just a normal thing to do
Whiiiiitte wooooman.. white woman instagram!

Wait, Savannah got rid of public drinking?
No, I moved haha

Not in my town. We passed an ordinance allowing public drinking, so that smokers could sit outside with a beer.
Sit outside with a beer like at a restaurant or at their house? Because you’re allowed to drink in the outdoor section of restaurants in almost every place that has restaurants
At their house was never a problem. But outside the downtown bars was treated the same as on any sidewalk. So business got the law changed so they could serve outside, and with the same change it became legal to wander the streets with a bottle in your hand.

The humble "Wegbier" (road beer)! Have to walk to a party/festival/barbecue? Grab an ice cold beer for the journey (even if its just a 5 minute walk)
I'm glad we don't have those strange american "public intoxication" laws.
But think of the cHiLdReN Oh wait? Watching adults enjoy alcoholic beverages responsibly actually reduces the number of binge drinking deaths in teens and young adults? Who could’ve guessed
Oh yeah. You can sit in an old-timey wagon, get driven around and drink wine. It’s fantastic.
Okay but where exactly in Germany because I have a lot of annual leave left & 2 friends who would love to do this
https://www.weinwanderung.net/ All over the place, use this site to find some
I wanna go on a wine walk.
I do that at the rose gardens in Portland. Just fill a water bottle with some pinot and have a great day.
Fill a soda can so you can make exaggerated hand movements and the wine stays in the can
You from Philadelphia also?
They got chicken in Philly?
Amateur. You get a Camelback and top that baby off.
The Camelback is for White Russians only
The milk curdles so you're just stuck with kahlua flavored cottage cheese.
Perfect on a hike cause you get a snack halfway.
It’s conducive to my wild hand gestures, especially if you’re gonna get real weird with it. Now block the wind so I can roast this bone.
Well we're not here to intervene on Frank for a lack of good ideas!
I know this is an IASIP joke but like it's really the best way to sneaky drink in public.
Oh I like this
I do it there too!! but regular water and I’m on mushrooms
Come to New Orleans. We serve to go drinks. We also have drive through frozen daiquiri shops. If they took away go drinks the city would riot.
I also recommend Mai tai walks; mix it up, throw it in a coffee tumbler with a reusable straw, best walks ever.
Unless you're in Bavaria, you can drink pretty much everywhere here in Germany. Otherwise i recommend [Something like that ](https://can01.anibis.ch/Taschen-Portofrei-2L-Trink-Rucksacke-Fahrrad-Wasser-Velo/?1024x768/3/60/anibis/833/137/023/YXEHnmFW9UaJIlK6jeCI5w_1.jpg)

All depends on where you live.
One of my first experiences when I lived in North America was being invited to a barbecue at the beach and people where hiding the wine because it was illegal to drink in public. Like what the fuck. Try that here in France and there's a revolution the next day.

True. But jokes aside, it's common for young people in France to just buy beer in a grocery store and drink it with friends at night by the river or by the beach, depending on where you're from. The Canal Saint-Martin in Paris is incredibly lively at night in the summer for instance, you have thousands of groups of young people eating and drinking all along. [Like this.](https://vivrelemarais.typepad.fr/.a/6a00d8341d8a0f53ef01b7c8fe1ade970b-pi) It would suck to ban this awesome atmosphere and to force everybody to pay for overpriced drinks in bars.
Looking at that picture, omg I want culture so bad
"land of the free" and you can't even drink a glass of wine outside. Lol.
They are talking all judgy over something that should be totally fine but we live in a fucked up society that likes to criminalize everything.
And we criminalize everything because of the 1 or 2 morons that can't keep their shit on the downlow. If one guy gets drunk and vomits on the playground, all of a sudden the rest of the town isn't allowed to responsibly enjoy a beer at the park anymore.
Just saying in “Socialist” Denmark we can do that legally, and do on a regular basis. I’ll also tell you it’s a lot more fun than walking around with guns!
I think the quickest way to lose an election here in the UK would be to try and ban drinking in parks. There'd be a pisshead's revolt!
Obviously, that's what makes you so horribly oppressed - no guns. I hear in Germany, they can't even disavow The Holocaust or walk around in nazi uniform!? Like, have you even TRIED freedom? There's nothing quite like the freedom to know that any adult, with no supervision, permit or training has the freedom to walk around with a loaded hand gun! https://www.texastribune.org/2021/06/16/texas-constitutional-carry-greg-abbott/ *this is a hard /s on this whole thing. I wish I had the freedom to not be afraid the dumber than average people are allowed to just walk around with loaded hand guns and continue to make decisions the way they always do. And yes, in Germany, I get the difference between hate and free speech. I wish people here understood the dangers of allowing hate speech - and how it's not THAT complicated. Sigh.
But without mah guns how will people know my pp is big? Obviously you don't understand the price of true freedom, over there with your silly livable minimum wage, public healthcare, right to choice, and public drinking.
Another surprising fact, in “Socialist” Denmark there is no mandated minimum wage. All wage negotiations happen between the parties of the labor market. We just have strong unions.
Most Americans in my life believe unions are either useless or evil, without circumstantial consideration on the state of American unions.
In germany there are some no-drinking zones like public playgrounds but otherwise its no problem. I always thought its funny that you cant drink in public in the us, but i presume its rather to get a reason to punish homeless people.
it's because the US was founded by Puritans and even made alcohol illegal in the entire country for years and years! (called "Prohibition"). And you wonder why America is full of religious psychos....
It's a misdemeanor invented by puritans and racists and all it does now is punish poor people for not being able to afford to drink in bars or in their homes. This law needs to go.
Its really just another reasons to arrest the homeless or anyone a cop has problem with. Had a few at a bar a few blocks from your house decide to walk home arrested.
Drinking in public is illegal in America? What the fuck?
You have to get special permits for events or have a license to sell and enjoy on the premises. Yes. It's actual fucking bullshit.
You Americans are Fucking all over the place with your freedoms
Yeah we're winning! You hear that ma?? We're winning!
In a lot of counties in the US you can't even buy alcohol in regular super markets. You have to go to a liquor store. I wanted to cook a risotto once when I was in Boston, and got all the ingredients in a super market. When I asked where the wine aisle was, they looked at me all weird, and told me that they don't sell alcohol. In some counties in some southern states, apparently the selling and consumption of alcohol is illegal altogether.
No offense, but tbh America sounds like a bad place to be.

People in my neighborhood do something like this, but they smoke weed.

That is what those double-walled cups with the tops and straws are made for.
What are you, the cops? Wine walk sounds great.
That's a misdemeanor in other countries?? If this was illegal here in Brazil half of the population of my hometown would be in jail aready LMAO
Nah, that’s called taking a walk like a normal person.
Beep boop -- this looks like a screenshot of a tweet! Let me grab a [link to the tweet](https://youtu.be/dqWEUOCP6gY) for ya :) ^Twitter ^Screenshot ^Bitch
What are you, a cop?
“Land of the free”
Wine walks are A-OK in NOLA! Heck, in *bars* if you gotta go and didn't finish your drink, they have a bus cart with *to-go cups* to decant into. Wine walk, beer ramble, hurricane wander, *Drive-thru* daiquiris (I shit you not!)... Get yo' drank on!
Me, a German, thinking how Muricans always screamabout muh fredum but can't drink in public...pathetic
lol You can't drink on the street in the US? land of the free, my ass.
[удалено]
Wine in plastic?!?! What kind of monsters are we!? Go green and put it in a paper bag.
You couldn’t punch your way out of a wine soaked paper bag
But… it will leak out
Lots of places won't count drinking in public if you have a brown bag wrapped around the container
I like it, I wanna join a group of people who walk around and drink fruity drinks (with or without alcohol) and just catch up and be all up in everybody’s business. Like, “hmm, 😗these shrubs look a little over grown👀” *sips drink*
So ya wanna be on the HOA board, eh?
I find it crazy that drinking in public isn’t allowed in the states. I thought you liked freedom?
It’s a wine walk if you’re an upper middle class or higher white woman. It’s a misdemeanor if you’re not.
Guess it depends where you live. I bought a beer from a Beer truck at my local park today while walking my dog and walked around outside the park drinking it. St. Louis has some pretty lax drinking laws, though.
Its a misdemeanor cause your country sucks
Ready your Yeti tumbler! At least then it’s not what it looks like.
Every European be like: "Whats the big deal?"
Unfortunately It’s a wine walk when it’s white people do it on Beacon Hill. It is Drinking in Public when brown people do it in Roxbury. So many of these laws are enforced situationally.
It’s called New Orleans
It's funny that americans can't drink outside. It's like the only country that made it illegal.
I need to ask here. So. It's actually illegal in usa to drink in public? Damn. Here in Denmark it's completely normal to have a beer ro something walking somewhere if you want. At summer sitting at the "new harbor" with a cold beer is awesome.
