You can't drink in a museum.
You can't drink at a park.
You can't drink in a lot of public places.
Why's that?
Because people can't act like fucking adults and so this has been banned in public places.
An airplane is a public place. It's a close quarter public place, where when one person fucks up, it fucks it up for the whole plane.
Bars and restaurants are public places too. What's the difference? Airline travel is stressful since people are now treated like cattle in a high security area. Banning alcohol sales just means that normal people won't drink at the airport while the people with problems will chug shooters before getting to the airport and be drunk all the same.
They get kicked out when they cause a problem, and don't cost the other 150 other people hundreds of $$$ and days of their time.
Alcohol is not the fucking solution to that, are you kidding me? Now you have have drunk people in a stressful situation.
Museums have Night events where they serve beer. There's three of them happening in my city this month at a Art Museum, science Museum, and a Arboretum. Wine is often at gallery showings.
Depending on your state laws, You may be able drink at a public park. Review your States laws. Many forbid open containers.
Review your state laws. Again, it "depends". In New Jersey, you are allowed to drink in public.
Again not true. Millions of people drink responsibility. If your statement was correct, then every single bar would be a haven for violence and destruction. Yet most cities are now allowing CHILDREN into bars and converting them into family friendly establishments.
I'm not Pro-alcohol - it's literally poison for your body to give you a pleasant reaction. But Jesus Christ, if you're going to use blanket statements, do some research. This is the same line of thinking as "DRUGs is BAAAAAAD". Like no?
Beer, wiine, and liquor, even.
Heck, I was at pop up exhibit that had a bar outside, and another that had one at the end of the exhibit.
We don't have seat belt and speeding laws for the good drivers.
