It also varies wildly by jurisdiction and local attitudes towards alcohol.

I’ve lived in places where it’s basically tolerated so long as everyone is civil and discrete. I’ve also lived in places where they enforce it to the letter and they’re not messing around.

I think people forget how big and messy the US can be.
