This will be interesting to enforce.

Sorry, I don't understand what that means. Sale or consumption of alcohol on the highway? Wasn't that already prohibited?

I think what they meant was no crazy drinking on streets one two three by hanging on the streets doing so .

What you mean by one two three?

Since when do people walk around with open cans of alcohol or beer bottles in the streets???

Lots of people usually hang out and drinks outside of Supermarkets etc .

Colour1 - most countries allow consumption of alcohol in public spaces, the USA is an exception because of its puritanical roots and the prohibition era. I see people outside in St. Martin all the time drinking outside and those containers don't look like soft drinks or water. Even McDonald's in Germany sells beer

I wonder if this new rule will make a difference? Perhaps to keep people from congregating on the streets?
