The open container law was passed to address a very serious problem. I would hope it is enforced.
If the police enforced every law that they saw broken, they would run out of ticket books. Have you ever crossed the street at the square without going to the corner first? If so, you should readily accept a ticket as would hundreds of others each night. Law enforcement can't possibly enforce every single violation - and thank goodness they don't or no one would be too happy.
