Where Can You Legally Drink In Public?

There are places all over the country that have open container laws that allow you to take your alcoholic beverage to go.

New Orleans is known for that, so is San Antonio, Texas, and even Erie, Pennsylvania, is known to have an open container law.

My wife and I like to plan vacations around places we can take our beers to go, just because it's such a fun novelty.

Medford isn't the only place in Jersey where you can walk around with an open container.

For example, in Atlantic City, you can walk around the designated tourist area with an open container and not be fined.

It turns out that any municipality in Jersey can legalize an open container law if it wants to.
