Anyone who can't see the hypocrisy in this is just not thinking.

So let me get this straight. If I bring a chair to the square, place it on the sidewalk next to my cart and consume 4 beers over the course of 2 hours (I will not be over the legal .08 limit in my experience) I can get back into my cart and drive happily home without incurring any violation.

BUT...

If i instead drink 1 beer in my cart that is not moving and maybe I'm even in the passenger seat and maybe with the keys in the ignition I can be cited.

Anyone who thinks this is right just because the 'letter' of the law is followed is just not the type of person I want to hang with.

And police wonder why they get bashed in forums like this. PLEASE!

Enforcing that 'law' makes no sense whatsoever except raising the town coffers.
