I recently read the law as it pertains to vehicles. Found out that it applies to any partially consumed container of alcohol located anywhere in the vehicle. In other words, if you take half a fifth of bourbon to a party in your car, you can be ticketed. Pretty stupid.

When I first moved to the NOLA area in the early 90s, there was no open container law for vehicles. You could drive around drinking a beer.

Only if it’s in arms reach of the driver.

You won’t get in trouble if it in your trunk or in the back of your SUV.
