I once watched a guy drinking from a 1.75L handle of whiskey in the passenger seat while I was driving past the Vermont State Fair. The police here aren't super proactive about stopping that stuff.
The USA is so fucked. If they went after open containers half the blue collars would be in jail every week.
In South Korea they enlist kids to babysit the drunks, so the cops pull over the drunks, then summon a substitute driver to deal with it. On the surface it looks like an Uber service. The DWI laws are strict and the BAC is low, like 0.03, but everyone has to go to company dinners and go to soju/beer gatherings for work.
So Korea has a service - 대리운전 (daeri unjeon) - substitute driver
Cops cant possibly put everyone in a drunk tank, so if they get someone goofy they call up a daeri unjeon. A licensed adult driver comes often via scooter or another car, that driver drives the drunk person home in their own vehicle, the substitute driver then leaves. This is widespread and culturally normal. It helps reduce drunk driving.
South Korea has a strong corporate and social drinking culture, especially company dinners aka 회식 / hwesik and soju and beer gatherings - I'd say at least one a week for soju/beer and for company dinners, it can be every work day in some cases.
In the US there is some proliferation of uber drunk get rideshare stuff, but its not as good as daeri unjeon and your car ended up stranded (possibly robbed and towed). I think the cops are so outnumbered these days open container is like a luxury or an add on not something you want to seek out. Now the rideshare kikey surge pricing happens too, where a ride can cost $10 to get to the bar, and a $100 to get home.
You generally have to be a royal fuckup to get the attention of cops too. Dont be fucking with the phone, dont be blasting music, remember to keep your lights on at night, dont swerve and shit, and go the speedlimit or maybe 1-2mph over.
I had to drive stoned once a long, long time ago (I dont like weed). - this guy invited the guys over to toke on the house and then his GF shows up and Im blasted he is like, yeah, poontang takes priority, you have to go, and I had to drive stoned and it was brutal. I must have been going 15mph in a 30. Felt like that ride home took a year. I may have been seen by one policeman on that ride home, but I thought it was every car. Anyways, you have to be out at the wrong time (1230 am - 5am) and being a total fuckup to get them interested.
I personally love Boone's Farm
Strawberry Hill?
Shows how long it has been since I've been shopping for booze.
Great job being free of the 'liquid jew'
You know that NXIVM cult? Yeah, Clare Bronfman, daughter of Seagrams dynasty leader Edgar Bronfman Sr. - I was in the same room with that guy in real life for charity work. You should check out who owns the booze companies and how they operate. He has a brother too, Charles. Charles like to bring tiny lap dogs everywhere.

Anyways, Clare got put in prison for helping the NXIVM cult bring girls in for sex trafficking. You thought Epstein was the only one doing it? Lol. Keep noticing, and you notice more. Sara Bronfman was also involved.
