When I first moved to FL, I was stationed at Mayport up in JAX. They had a open container law then. I mean you could drive with a open container. I remember pulling up next to a state trooper and drinking a beer. You just better not be drunk.
Man those were the good old days!
You could go to a drive thru Jax liquors and buy beer, they would open a single and give it to you. Hell they used to have somehting called "a fifth and the fixings." A fifth of boose, everyone in the car gets 2 cups of ice and whatever mixers you wanted.
And we wonder why the law changed?????
Naturally, it did not last long, people cant handle responsibility and have got to be told what to do you know.
We did get in alot of trouble, but very few of us actually got DUI's. The cops were pretty cool most of the time. It didn't hurt having base stickers and military id's either.
Hell, I would have gotten kicked out for doing that kind of shit now days.
Work hard, play hard used to be the saying! and we fucking like to play hard!
