I gotcha, Frank. I just call it as I see it. If you were there, I think you would forgive me for my off colour remark. All joking aside, I hope I didn't offend anyone, I was just referring to how people were acting, and trust me, it was a "if ya can't beat them, join them," type situation, so I was right in there, pushing and shoving back, allthought I really wished I didn't have to. It was to the level that I had to do it to prevent myself from getting crushed by luggage!
As for the original post, I know he was just basically wondering if he could just "enjoying a beer" but A beer or a six pack, its still under the influence, and just not a good idea. Even if he wasn't drunk, or truly only had one beer, if he were to get into a random accident, totally irrelated to alcohol, the fact that there was an open container in the car are likely to get him arrested for reckless endangerment, not to mention provide a hell of a lot of fodder for a civil case should he injure someone...even if he wasn't intoxicated per the legal definition.
While the police may, as some suggest, overlook it, I highly recommend doing some legal research, and knowing exactly what the law is. You could catch a cop on a bad day, or get a rookie who is going to stick to the book. You never know...
As for the morally responsible choice, I'll leave that up to your individual conscience, and refrain from any further judgment.
