Most UK cities now have "No Public Drinking" zones (which makes a mockery of the supposed continental cafe society drinking that our politicians aspire for us to emulate). Fortunately, these zones fall under Civil Law (rather than Criminal Law), which means that the cops can seize your booze but not arrest you, as long as you behave sensibly and give them no cause.Mr. Viking wrote:I got told off for drinking in the street last night.

Re: Drinking in public
even worse, in scotland, excluding edinburgh, it is illegal to drink on the street at any time (except for, according to the officers, new years eve). My brother got caught out because last time he had been over for a new year's street party before so assumed that being on the mainland it would be civilized. Apparently not

Sheeeiiiittt, I had to use the claw method the other night when we were eating dinner at the bar and then my son and I went in the main room to make the rounds and because he likes to dance and entertain everyone.coqui_chris wrote:If you don't know how to pull it off yet, this is where I teach you how to utilize what I call the "claw method." Basically, you have to cup the beer in your palm right at your waist/hip level. You cup it with your forearm to the front, so that from the front, nobody walking towards you can see it. And as they pass you, you can simply employ the pivot-method.Jaime wrote:That would be Eastern Penn or downtown Philly.

Well he takes a shit and my lady has to change him, and its my duty to take the diaper out into the alley. Goddamned if the door doesn't lock behind me, so around the block I went. Stay classy.

Re: Drinking in public
Once back in DC I was at a house party that ran out of beer. It was after hours so I led a contingent of serious boozers back to my place for whiskey and eggs. Luckily, I found a tallboy at the back of the fridge and managed to cup it against my body through my blazer while stumbling down the more well-lit portions of the street. It pays to booze in style.

Re: Drinking in public
My brother has always been an inspiration to me. just after christmas he was over visiting. He wouldn't let me leave the pub without a full pint in my hand. as we made our way home I drank mine and he drank his. Halfway home he threw his at the new lenticular or whatever it is house of ourlord. Both of us have suffered since from good luck. Thankfully the Police didn't meet us that night

I'm not one who has ever been lucky in the monetary manner, but I have found that I can be saved from the ugly Demon known as Dry.
Finding a pounder at the rear of a fridge before an excursion from a deadening house party is great.
