Explanation
It is always illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol-this is a serious offense in every state. Most states also have 'open container laws', which make it illegal to possess or consume alcohol from an open container in the passenger area of a vehicle, whether you are the driver or a passenger. If you are transporting alcohol, the container must be sealed and unopened. If it has been opened, it must be stored in the trunk or another area not accessible to the driver or passengers. These laws help reduce impaired driving and improve safety on public roadways.
