So many people trying to say it is normal in the US, but it is the US the one with the rule of having a paper bag to cover alcohol anywhere public. Sure at home it might also be more normal but that is already indicative of a certain point of view which I'm guessing is what OP was talking about.

No it isn't. This is a state-by-state thing. Many states don't allow you to consume alcohol in public, period. Some don't care (I think Louisiana is pretty lax regarding this if I recall?)

Ah, understood, thanks for pointing it out

To make it even more complicated, counties, of which states are composed, can also set the terms of alcohol use in their jurisdiction. There's "dry" counties all around the US where alcohol cannot be legally purchased.

And then there are counties where public consumption is fine and prostitution is legal. So... idk. It's a big country. Montana, just one of the states, is larger than Germany, and it's only the 4th largest state. The largest state is over four times bigger than Montana.
