Were you walking around the square with drinks or were you sitting in the golf cart with drinks?

Driving or sitting in a golf cart on public roads with open containers or after drinking is no different than driving a car in the same manner, the same laws apply.

Now if you were not in the golf cart then I would be very curious as to why you were stopped. unless the open containers were in the driving area cup holders.

So that leads to another question: If the golf cart is backed in to a parking spot with a view of the nites entertainment and the cup holders are mounted to the rear in a non-seating section of the cart would that still qualify as an open container in a vehicle?
