Great, I knew I could get the off-topic ball rolling. I don't think it's illegal in the state of Washington (don't tell the officer that I said it was ok though). Beer is ok if it's legal, just don't get intoxicated or you could be getting in trouble, and not just by the law.

The pendulum has swung way too far in the other direction. When I was a kid and I was helping my dad do plumbing, at the end of the day he'd drink a beer (one, uno, less than 2...) on the road on the way home. He wasn't drunk, and at that time he wasn't even breaking the law. What's the difference if he drove down the road and drank it, or if he drank it at the shop and then drove home. Today he would be breaking the law if he drove and drank the beer, but he would NOT be breaking the law if he drank it at the shop and then drove home (NOT intoxicated). Our laws these days defy common sense.

Let's see if I can get some more bites. :-)
