What city are you referring to?

This post: vinepair.com/…/map-states-drinking-public-parks

In any of the following states, you can basically kiss the concept of enjoying drinks in public parks goodbye: Arizona, Arkansas, Hawaii, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia all enforce statewide bans on public alcohol consumption with no exceptions. If you live in any of these states, it’s time to make some friends with nice backyards.

I was surprised by how few states had laws against public drinking : i thought it was most.

Then I clicked into the details for my state of the above link and found out how useless that map is. Technically True but for Massachusetts:

Massachusetts upholds its strict tendencies with its open-container laws as well, so while there is technically no statewide ban on public drinking, it is effectively illegal

Yeah, open container laws. The state doesn’t care about whether you drink in public (most towns due), as long as you don’t have an open container of alcohol. Wtf
