Hi

Having a picnic/ BBQ at a local park tomorrow afternoon to celebrate the anniversary of our arrival. I was going to take a few cold beers to share out while we are there (social drink not getting bladdered). I've learnt that its illegal ($110 ots fine) but I've been told not to worry about it as the police won't enforce it unless you are being a nuisance to others. I realise it depends on the police officers discretion but I've seen lots of people doing similar without a care I the world.

Do you think it's a bad idea to take the beer?

Any experiences appreciated.

Thanks

You're not supposed to drink in public parks in WA either, and I've been to 4 birthday/anniversary celebrations in parks this year where we shared a few bottles of bubbly and some beers, no problem at all. I've seen a large group of noisy and obviously drunk young men approached in a park, they had to tip their opened stubbies out and that was it. I'd be astounded if a small, family type gathering was stopped from having a drink. It's to you, but I wouldn't give it a second thought ps happy anniversary!

It's what God invented stubby holders for

Thanks, never thought of the stubby holder idea!

Common sense will prevail.

Thanks for the replies :-)

Just don't try the brown paper bag trick... They have cottoned onto that one
