The boundaries of this allowable open container law is always changing. Is it just the boundaries of the sidewalk surrounding the square? Where is that posted?
When they have affairs in the square they sell alcohol in the street itself, for Pete's sake, and you're allowed to drink almost anywhere, it seems. Do they ever post information on where the boundaries are then? When Glenn Beck was here there was a beer truck past the square and across from Southern Lifestyles.
When someone is booked to speak, at say Barnes & Noble as Sen. Rubio was, the put up a bar kiosk and now that's a place for allowable open containers. Is there any postings on that exception and what the limits of that "open container boundary" is?
This thread devolved into a place for all the Carrie Nation's of TV to vent on their disproval of the devil's brew, and I'm half expecting them to come to the square with their brooms and hatchets.
I just want clarity. Is that too much to ask?

According to Janet Tutt, the liquor licenses for the kiosk's in the squares are unique "tourist" licenses and allow people to walk throughout the downtown area (outside the square) with a drink. She also gave specific examples of how far you could wander with a drink but my memory is unfortunately limited. You could probably send Janet an email and post her response here.
