In Baltimore, MD you can drink in Hamsterdam
Comment on is there a legal way to consume alcohol bought at a store, outside of a home, hotel room, etc.?

In the US, off the top of my head:
- Pedestrians in Paradise, Nevada (the Vegas Strip) are allowed open containers in plastic or aluminum containers.
- The French Quarter in New Orleans has similar open container laws.

I thought it was pretty crazy the way I found this out. I was in the French Quarter doing the usual tourist stuff and went up to a bar open to the street. They asked “for here or to go?”, then gave me a paper cup to go and the glass one packaged as a souvenir.

There are a number of cities that have designated areas where it's OK to drink within a few blocks downtown or something where there are a bunch of bars.

when i lived down in texas (and a couple other places), the stores had can-sized paper bags for the big cans and for regular 12oz ones. and i'd see guys having clerks at the store 'bag' their beer....
then see them a few lights down the road chugging one at a red.

When I worked in a grocery store years ago there was a “no naked alcohol rule.” In retrospect I don’t know if it was a thing the store did or if was a Liquor Control Commission reg. But it meant that part of training new clerks was explaining: these bags will hold 12 or 20oz cans, these hold a single 40oz, these will hold a full 6 pack, these are best for MD20/20 and Thunderbird…
