I grabbed a 4 piece box and thought, "what would go good with chicken?" Then it hit me...I headed to the beer section and grabbed a nice cold 24oz can of Coors Light. I hit the checkout in full force to pay and get out of there. I got in my car, ripped open the chicken and cracked into the cold beer. I then started my car up and headed down the road doing 25 mph through the ghetto...eating cold fried chicken and drinking beer. That's when it hit me.....my life kicks @ss! It was a great feeling.
1. Collect beer and cold chicken
2. Cruise
3. ?????#*#???
4. PROFIT!

He had one beer and drove. Was that "irresponsible?"
you let someone drink one behind the wheel legally like you propose and they'll drink more than one!
Bullsh!t. People have a single beer all the time.
Not everyone is a teenage binge drinker. There is no reason to treat everyone as if they were.
really got to see a different side of you in this thread. didn't realize you were such an advocate for people being allowed to drink alcohol while driving in their vehicle... yes, yes, just "ONE", and sure they'll stop at just one.![]()

LOL at those arguing in this thread, while Scarpozzi sits back, drinks his beer and enjoys his life.
BTW, the law also says it's illegal to jaywalk in NY.

The argument is whether the law is within reason.

No problem, he can operate a vehicle after having a beer. However it's not a good idea to allow open containers in moving vehicles as it promotes drinking and driving.Originally posted by: buck

duuuuude, drinking&driving, your life sucks ass :thumbsdown:
sorry, cannot condone
Ok, open container isnt good for legal reasons, but one beer for an adult is legal and isnt dangerous. Get over it.

Amused, you are fighting a losing battle with your opinion on open container law. It would ENCOURAGE people behind the wheel to have a drink. And you know that not everyone has a sense of control for only one beer that you claim they do.

I know plenty of people who have a single beer with dinner. Are they to be thrown in jail?
Again, drinking while in the car is NO different than drinking right before you get in the car. You've done nothing to stop drunk driving by banning open containers.
Freedoms? Since when is driving with an open container one of our freedoms? In fact being able to drive is a privilege not a right.Originally posted by: Amused

Really?
So safe sex classes in sex ed ENCOURAGE kids to have sex?
Open container laws do nothing to stop drunk driving. Saying the lack of a law encourages people to do something is rather silly. It's like laws against suicide. Do you REALLY think suicide rates would rise if laws against them were taken off the books???
Drunk driving is already illegal. Passing more laws in an attempt to stop people from breaking already existing laws does nothing but rob innocent people of their freedoms.

Where are the provable stats that open container laws signifigantly lower drunk driving rates?
Where is the reason in passing more laws to prevent people from breaking already existing laws?
Do you think a person inclined to drive drunk will suddenly see the light and call a cab because of open container laws? He was already prepared to break one law, what's another?

what the OP did was illegal. do you dispute that?
Amen.This argument is the last refuge for assholes and idiots. Things often are made illegal because of hysteria. Add sex, drugs, drunk driving, terrorism, immigration, guns, etc. to any legislative docket and you'll see some fvcked up laws spew forth. If you rely on our legal system for you ethical cues, there's no hope.

Because you said it was "wrong" as if it were an absolute. It sounded rather religious.

Dude, wtf. Your other examples have nothing to do with anything we have discussed. Those are completely different things. You must like arguing. If people are allowed to drink in their cars, you are robbing them of the opportunity that someone will get involved and try to save their life or the lives of others. Sadly, few people need a reason to drink.
