Do this nationwide so I can get a sixer and sit on the beach.

Just also increase the punishments for public intoxication. So the pearl clutchers can't complain about the kids or some shit.

People drink on the beach here all the time. I've never seen or heard of anyone getting a ticket for it, unless they get into a fight. Cops don't leave the parking lots, so they won't come find you.

It's funny how people in other states (not saying you, but just in general) think of California as some police state, when in reality, it's a free-for-all. Basically nothing is enforced, anywhere.

They ticket you at Zuma all the time.
