I don’t believe you.

While my dad didn't start drinking as soon as he got off, he would stop off and buy his six pack to drink when he got home

Many experienced drinking drivers slow down, calm down and are more cautious after a few drinks. Not condoning this and I’m sure this will offend some of you but that is the reality at least in LA.
I have lived a lot of places, but have never seen the obsession with alcohol that is found in south LA, it permeates almost every activity, especially on the water.

Road beer upside gain - having road beer
Road beer downside potential loss - in the chance hit/hurt someone, gonna cost you finances, reputation, stress and at very least inconvenience.
Risk math says hold the beer til you get home.

This is true. Many places drink, and drink a lot. But drinking isn't considered a given for every situation like it is back home.

The best I’ve ever heard was someone telling how awesome it was that just putting it in a paper bag made it legal. I get one occasionally, but not for I10 driving. Gotta keep that head on a swivel for that shite.

When we have non-LA friends down to the camp one of the things they almost always want to do the first time is go to a daiquiri drive-through, it is basically as foreign to them as changing from house slippers to toilet slippers in a Japanese home.

Yep i drive 45 mins to work one way and as mentioned earlier nothing better than slow sipping a cold one on the way home after the stress at work and sitting in traffic.
Posted on 7/22/22 at 7:16 am to IAmNERD
Almost every single after work.
Makes traffic much more tolerable

A beer or two is no biggie. But the MADD faction has made it seem like a capital offense.
Open container laws are BS. There should be no ticket unless you fail the breathalyzer.

Well...People who live in the country where there's no traffic certainly do.

(for the record, I only agreed to this interview because Isiah Carey is a fair journalist. Some of you wrote me that you don't think he is, but he's always been more than fair with me.)
----------------------------------------------
Houston radio talk show host Michael Berry has raised a lot of eyebrows with his latest radio campaign.
The controversial host says he wants the state of Texas to repeal the open container law.
I called Berry Thursday afternoon and asked wasn’t he essentially promoting drinking and driving. He said no.
Berry said he’s not promoting drinking and driving no more than a gun permit is promoting killing.
Listeners say for the last two weeks or more Berry has been on a campaign on the airwaves to get the Texas law repealed.
He says it’s a trend he’s seeing around the country.
Berry says he will provide a written statement:
-------------------------------------------------------
The Open Container Law – Is It Good Policy?
I do not condone drunk driving. It is a deadly practice. Innocent people die every day because of it.
Driving with an open container is not drunk driving, any more than owning a gun is committing murder. First, the container could be consumed by a passenger. Second, the driver may be drinking under his limit.
We all agree that drunk driving is deadly, and should be punished. I think most Americans believe a responsible adult of legal age should be able to drink a beer and drive responsibly, or at least to have a passenger do so.
The overreaction to the drunk driving problem has caused a loss of liberty, and has punished everyone because of the stupid actions of a few. This is the same mentality behind curfews and gun bans. Punish the criminal, not the responsible citizen.
Further, people tend to stop in bars instead of having a beer on the way home. This encourages over-consumption, which leads to drunk drivers.
If our goal is to promote public safety by reducing drunk driving, while balancing the goal of not enforcing a nanny state, it would be safer to allow citizens to open a beer on their drive home from work. In any case, at least there is no reason to ban an open container when the passenger is the drinker.
Drinking and driving is not the same as drunk driving. Drunk driving kills, drinking a beer on the way home doesn’t.

I use to. I would stop at store on the way home and get me a fence post, cut that out when a kid rode out in front me in our neighborhood. I didn't hit him but if I would have, and he died, I would be in prison for driving drunk. I wanna stay out of prison.

Go to any convenience store in Texas between 4-6 and there is a steady flow of single beers in bags with blue collar/construction workers.
I don’t have a problem with one. Sure seems odd that gas stations have troughs of icy singles usually up front but it is against the law to even have an open container in a vehicle.

Like ea6b i have lived in lots of places and no where do you see road beers like the SE .... ppl drink and drive everywhere but the road beer seems to be centered in the SE.

Throw in a couple mushrooms and that drive will really take you somewhere.

I've done it, but had a plastic cup in the freezer for a few hours and two beers in small ice chest....if I got pulled over, my cup is covered, not open container, beer cans tossed....kinda simple

Dad never drank while on the water but after loading up we would stop at a the 1st store we came to & each grab one for the road
Last few times he didn’t stop, said it’s not worth open container ticket when he can drink at home
