I’m thinking in the U.S. and Canada. For example, if you’re on vacation, you’ve checked out of your hotel room and have several hours until your flight, and you have some cans of beer left over. I know you could sneakily drink them in a park or something, but I’m just curious if there’s any way to do it that’s legal.

    Rest of the world wondering what kind of Freedom©®™ makes it illegal to drink outside?!? 😂

      I first found out about this while trying to leave a bar with a bottle of beer when I was 22. I was like, “dude, I’m not wasting this, so you’re telling me I have to get smashed for the next few minutes if I was to leave the bar without wasting my drink?”

      You mean the freedom to pull up to a drive through liquor store (and I mean drive through, you’re inside a large barn-like structure), order a case of beer (which they place in your trunk for you), two gin and tonics which they hand you in Styrofoam cups with lids and straws, hand them some cash and drive away?

      I know, that’s some awful Freedom. It’s OK that you’re jealous.

      So, from what perfect country do you hail?

          Being too fat to get out of your tiny-penis truck to buy a crate of beer is the other American thing

          Someone doesn’t know the difference between laziness and freedom ©®™
