My response has nothing to do with the public areas where drinking is/is not allowed, EXCEPT when it occurs in a motorized vehicle, which is against the law. I've spent a significant amount of time in Key West, New Orleans, and lots of places overseas where drinking is OK in public, but it is against the law to have an open container in a vehicle in all of these spots.

It seems pretty clear to me, enjoy my adult beverages in the square (or other designated areas), but don't drink while sitting in my cart. That is clarity.

By the way, this is not coming from a Carrie Nation preacher, but someone who enjoys his adult beverages. I just get tired of the pervasive attitutude that "these laws don't apply to me." If we all took that attitude, TV would not be the wonderful place it is today.
Well said, CappyJon! I totally agree with you!
