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.

    I was surprised by how few states had laws against public drinking : i thought it was most.

    Then I clicked into the details for my state of the above link and found out how useless that map is. Technically True, but:

    Massachusetts upholds its strict tendencies with its open-container laws as well, so while there is technically no statewide ban on public drinking, it is effectively illegal

    Yeah, open container laws. The state doesn’t care about whether you drink in public (most towns do), as long as you don’t have an open container of alcohol. Wtf
