Re: Drinking on the beach
Urgh! I have sooo many feelings about this whole thing, and responses to some of you guys' stories, so I will start like this....
I think that it is my American born right to have a picnic on the beach and drink beer. As long as I'm not being obnoxious. Period.
Kalalau - Yes!! I too used to drink on the beach at San Diego!! And I signed the petition to "ban the ban". I could write a soliloquy about why banning booze on SD beaches is misguided!
Alohakine - this is my first Hawaii tickert, and framing it is not out of the question.
Tattratt - yes! the cop seemed irked. He even asked me if I had any dogs at the beach,. probably wanted to write a ticket for that too. Then, having filled his 'dog' quota, he could've gone to Mc Donalds and taken it easy!
Myopicjoe and Tutusue - you guys bring up the most insightful points of view. I will have to think more on those...
Salmoned - I shamelessly gave up the evidence when the cop asked for my coozie. Thank goodness he didn't search my person...
PS - On my way out of the park I saw six guys, obviously drunk, hanging out around a cooler under a tree. They all had red plastic cups. Did they get tickets? I bet not!
