Can you walk around with alcohol in a bag? While you may think that holding your open container in a brown paper bag will protect you from open container laws, it does not. It also does not protect you from being charged with public intoxication.


Can you go to jail for walking around drunk?

In short, yes, if you are intoxicated at a level where you may pose a danger to yourself or others around you. The determination on whether you are so intoxicated or drunk in public that you pose a danger to yourself or others is left initially to the arresting officer.


Can you bring a 12 pack of beer on a plane?

For beer and wine under 24% ABV, there aren't any limitations on how much can travel in checked bags as long as it fits in your luggage. Anything over 70% ABV won't be permitted, but this would only apply to distillates and extremely hard liquor, not beer or wine.
