With that in mind, I wish it was legal to drink in public here. I usually do it regardless, but it would be nice if you could sip on a cold drink in the park without having to worry about getting a ticket or being told to throw it out. It's such a common thing around the world, but here it's treated as if it's some sort of hard drug.
Our alcohol rules are basically temperance watered down. It’s amazing how deeply ingrained they are. It seems that targeting the rules more specifically towards the problems associated with some alcohol-related behaviours rather than towards alcohol itself would be a benefit.
In the meantime, what happens if you use an opaque container? I mean, can they really ask what’s in your insulated coffee mug with a lid? But of course I suppose this doesn’t really address your concern because you would still be hiding.
