You can watch the sun set at Sunset Point on the Bridge, and have cocktails.
I'm very surprised that they would ticket someone at SS sitting in their golfcart enjoying a beverage. Perhaps some of these things aren't legal, but it sure seems that they are, based on four years of observation. Clarification is definitely required on this subject.

Excellent points. Outdoor vendors sell alcoholic drinks on the square. So it must be legal to possess a drink on the square that was purchased from the vendor. Right? Maybe technically it becomes illegal to have said drink in your hand only if you step off the curb from the interior of the square.
Are the sidewalks outside the shops and restaurants on the square private property? If so, maybe you can carry a drink onto the sidewalk and if you walk across the street to the interior of the square the drink only remains illegal until you get to the other side.
That would answer a riddle that has remained unsolved for thousands of years!
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Seriously, this issue is confusing.
