First time Rooer here. I asked this on the Roo community board, but figured I'd get the inforoo opinion. At All Good last year, we sat in traffic/line to get in for a good 4 hours. I was able to crack a few beers without worry. Once you get to the gate, there are no 5-0 searching the car, so it was not an issue. Now I'm not talking about getting smashed. But once we get to the line wait, is it safe to crack a few beers without getting hassled? I am not Gonna have any NO NO WORDs in the car. So that's not an issue. Has anyone had any experience with that being an issue?

Nope. Open container laws in TN are strict to the point of silliness. Not only can a passenger not have an open container, any missing drink from a pack, say you have 5 beers left out of a 6 pack because you drank one in New Hampshire and threw away the empty in Virginia, is still considered an open container. Be careful, and don't start partying until you're past the ticket checkpoint!
from the time your in line to the time your camp is finally set up takes quite a while, and feels like an eternity. do you know of a better way to pass time?

How about crossword puzzles? Or Soduko that's really popular with you kids today, right? Or you could write a letter to your congressman, telling him how much open container laws suck. Masturbat!on is a good way to pass time too.

Sorry bud, but this is incorrect information.
Tennessee's open container law applies to the driver only. There is currently a legislative proposal to make the laws more strict for the passengers, but currently, it does not aplly to passengers.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A legislative proposal for a stricter open-container law in Tennessee could allow state officials to spend more money on infrastructure projects instead of safety programs.
State officials say that about $15 million of road-building money is currently diverted because the state rules don't meet with federal standards. About $12 million of that federal money is instead directed to the state's road safety programs.
It's currently illegal for any driver to drink while driving, but the law doesn't apply to passengers. A bill advancing out of committee in the House on Tuesday would expand the ban to anybody riding in a vehicle.
The bill sponsored by Rep. Jon Lundberg, a Bristol Republican, would lift the limitations on how the state spends the federal road money

What's better than masturbation? Is drinking beer really better than that?

i agree with r00fanintn. i had this discussion with someone else before and found these links that seem to say that it is ok for passengers to drink.

you guys might be on to something here... if a cop walks up to your car and it's stuffed to the brim with 4 or 5 guys all drunk and masterbating (except for the sober masturbating driver) is he really gonna ask them to step out of the vehicle so he can rummage through there?
Maybe it's just a job which they'd send Officer Farva out to do the search ;D
;D
