Check your State Laws for "Open Container" dose it say Alcohol or Intoxicant, I heard about a guy in the states who got off because he was drinking an over the counter liquid pain killer medication that had "Do not Operate a Motor Vehicle or Heavy Mechanical wile under the influence of this Medication" on the label, because the State Law read Alcohol. he still got done for driving under the influence. person who told me said if they got him for Open Container as well as all the other charges (Seatbelt, Dangerous Driving, driving without a licence and so on) the judge could have given him Jail time as well as/instead of a long list of fines he apparently never paid.
What's "open container" for most of you, Cash, Demerit Points, Upgrade of the Charge (on an other driving offence) or a combination of any or all of the above?
