option 3, with the amendment that if you're not cool enough to find your own way to drink in public without getting hassled by the man, you probably could use a little hassling. I mean fuck, just get a big gulp cup. It's not james bond shit.

The city of Butte, Montana, has no open container ordinance. Because Montana also has no statewide public open container law, drinking openly in the street is allowed throughout the city.[2] A recent attempt to pass a comprehensive open container ordinance in Butte met with widespread opposition and was dropped.[3] Butte does, however, ban open containers in vehicles.
In the Power & Light District of Kansas City, Missouri, a special Missouri state law[4] preempts Kansas City's ordinary local law against open containers[5] and allows the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages on the street in open plastic containers.[6] Although Missouri has no statewide open container law, the Power & Light District remains the only part of Kansas City where open containers are allowed actually on the street, and throughout the rest of Kansas City, open containers remain expressly prohibited.
On the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, the law allows the possession and consumption on the street of any alcoholic beverage in an open container throughout the year, although the container must be plastic for certain special events such as the 4th of July and New Year's Eve.[7] Because Nevada has no statewide public open container law, local law governs. Although open containers usually are allowed throughout the rest of Las Vegas, they are prohibited at certain times of the year, except in the Strip.[7]
The entertainment district along Beale Street in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee, is specially exempt from both Tennessee's statewide open container ban and Memphis's local open container ban, thereby permitting the open consumption of alcoholic beverages on the street.
The city of New Orleans, Louisiana allows the possession and consumption on the street of any alcoholic beverage in an open plastic container (not in glass bottles or containers). Throughout the rest of Louisiana, however, open containers are still prohibited, despite the fact that drive-thru frozen daiquiri stands are legal.[8]
In the Savannah Historic District of Downtown Savannah, Georgia, city law allows possession and consumption on the street of one alcoholic beverage in an open plastic container of not more than 16 ounces.[9] Because Georgia has no state public open container law, the city law governs. Throughout the rest of Savannah, however, open containers remain prohibited.
The small German town of Fredericksburg, Texas allows open containers of beer or wine (no liquor) in its Main street shopping district.

I had forgotten about this particular bit of American craziness.
America: where you can openly carry a gun, but you cannot walk down the street drinking a beer on a hot day.
Priorities!

Yeah i've always found it particularly cruel that the laws state you cannot do it on a "hot" day

America: where you can drink enough alcohol to crash your car on the way home from Applebee's, but can't smoke enough weed to make you too lazy to go to Applebee's in the first place.
