From http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_container_law

Sorry folks but Arlington or any city in DC metro area is not listed there...[/quote]

So your point is that it's illegal because wikipedia doesn't specifically list Virginia as an exception, despite the fact that there is no law in the Virginia code that makes it illegal? [/quote]

It's not Wikipedia... There are several websites who mention the exceptions to this very specific FEDERAL LAW!!!!!!!

What else do you need to see to understand that drinking alcohol while walking on a public street is against the law?  [/quote]

There is NO federal law, and even the pages you link to do not include any mention of a federal law.  If it was a federal law, there wouldn't be city by city exceptions unless codified.  There are however numerous state laws that ban open containers.  Virginia has a law that adresses open containers in vehicles that was quoted above, but no law against open containers on the street.
If you think I'm wrong and can find the actual federal law citation, not some website, the actual citation from the US Code, then I personally promise to donate $100 to MADD or another charity you post.  I'm that sure that there is no federal law against open containers. [/quote]

I awas writing this when you posted your "opps", but I'll add to the challenge that you can't find an actual citation from the Virginia code either.  [/quote]
