Something that I only now realized.
Most of you guys live in areas where public alcohol consumption is prohibited, right? What is the basic reason / justification for this?
This totally doesn't exist / isn't enforced in Israel. Many of the times that I go out to meet friends we drink on the street in one way or another.
Either we grab a beer each, and go for a walk along a main road, and then talk about stuff as we walk. Or we take up some sort of public park or playground, and sit there, drinking beer, sometimes smoking a hookah.
We've never been given a dirty look by anyone, or bothered by cops. And we've passed lots of cops on our foot trips, or when sitting in the park.
As long as we didn't make terrible noise to startle the neighbors, or started fighting/drunk behavior, then no one seemed to care.
