    1. Museums have Night events where they serve beer. There’s three of them happening in my city this month at a Art Museum, science Museum, and a Arboretum. Wine is often at gallery showings.

    2. Depending on your state laws, You may be able drink at a public park. Review your States laws. Many forbid open containers.

    3. Review your state laws. Again, it “depends”. In New Jersey, you are allowed to drink in public.

    Because people can’t act like fucking adults and so this has been banned in public places.

    Again not true. Millions of people drink responsibility. If your statement was correct, then every single bar would be a haven for violence and destruction. Yet most cities are now allowing CHILDREN into bars and converting them into family friendly establishments.

    I’m not Pro-alcohol - it’s literally poison for your body to give you a pleasant reaction. But Jesus Christ, if you’re going to use blanket statements, do some research. This is the same line of thinking as “DRUGs is BAAAAAAD”. Like no?
