Sorry to hear that man, alcohol is a basterd!!
When i was young we always used to drink, smoke and party on the streets in the neighborhood and in the shopping centrun, but here in The Netherlands you get a 60/70€ fine for drinking in public.
Have had way to many of those.
I rather stick with me weed now, funny thing i always smoke everywhere outiside not once have the cops given me a fine for that.
Have a nice day!!
