I think you misunderstood this. She could have likely been fined or arrested for having an open container in public (some communities in America have hefty fines.)
Additionally, she looked to be under the age of 21. She could also have faced underage possession charges. “He’s a real one” means he simply had her give up the bottle instead of absolutely f*cking her life up.
In Europe in some places it’s 16
We had a program for school where you got to go abroad, in the US it’s 21 to drink, and all of us got excited to be able to drink in Spain, but the teachers were on us and wouldn’t let that happen lol. It would of been bad to have a bunch of drunk 16 year olds in a foreign country lol
Yeah if I go to a festival, I don’t want to be around teenagers drinking straight vodka. Prob the same reason they don’t hand out vodka for soccer games in other countries. Because ur surrounded by normal people in the middle of the day, and don’t need to be trashed
Every University in Europa has a 1st semester party with all kinds of alcohol sometimes even sponsored by student organizations... meanwhile USA have cops...
Not sure why you support kids taking drugs that harm their body and encourage addiction before their brains are even done properly developing. But hey if you can whine about America I guess it’s cool right
Well our ancestors were fucking stupid and thought lightning and drought was the wrath of god. They also had no idea excess sugar was bad for you. Look at how morbidly obese King Henry VIII was and had horrible tooth aches because he ate sugar constantly
Define, "right outside the store." You're clearly in an area that isn't 15ft from a liquor store. So 1 block away, in eye sight of the store, maybe down the road from the store.? Looks like you're somewhere with a no glass policy, no alcohol/ open container policy, or a closed event. The, "take out your bottles" while removing yours(?) from the being hidden in the shirt, means that y'all stuck the bottle to/into wherever you're at in the video. Clearly knowing you can't have them there, for X reason.
Open container laws are very common among states/local governments and can have severe penalties. I wouldn't recommend ever opening an alcoholic beverage outside without checking local laws.
Most festivals and outdoor events don't allow alcohol brought from outside the event period. Open or not. Depending on the state, event, local laws it can be illegal to sneak it into the event.
This wasn't an event. I mean okay that's fair for her thing but I'm still allowed to complain we were heading to the car after buying it from the grocery store
If you’re a teenager and won’t listen to the law, (waiting until you’re 21), please do it on private property and somewhere you’ll be staying overnight at or you have a sober ride home.
I think its just that open container is illegal in many places, shes most likely too young (and tbh I can easily believe a cop would do this without IDing her), and a person this naive with a full bottle of alcohol out in public just... really does not need to be in possession of that bottle lmao (though thats obviously a matter of opinion)
It’s allowed where I am. I’ll often have a beer and walk around the city. I don’t really notice tons of people using the privilege irresponsibly but I’m in a nice area.
Depends on where you are. Some places allow it. Some don't.
Generally speaking, a large municipality is going to heavily frown on any type of open substance use if there are other substance users that may gather around.
Whereas a town of 5k people doesnt need to worry about it's shader elements coalescing into a problem zone, because their shady elements are just a dozen people already hanging out in the meth house.
Okay thank you for responding so quickly and for teaching me something new today and that small town thing is true in texas where I'm from one of my relatives live in a town of 2,5k and legit people have burned houses down for gang reasons ride bikes drinking i even had a cousin get hanged for gang reasons again and his dad got tied up and killed in a bathtub for trying to kill the people who got his son small towns can be crazy
you guys are not understanding what im saying. if the police are willing to ignore someone breaking a law to so they can remain vigilant and on the lookout, how bad does the crime have to be before they decide to take notice
Well thats the thing, having a drink in public is not a crime here, so they are technically not overlooking anything.
On a side note, in my country, if you black out in public due to substance abuse and police finds you in that state, off you go 2 weeks - all inclusive psych ward experience.
So basically, having a drink in public = ✅, being an wasted idiot in public = 🚫
It’s not illegal to drink publicly in my country or in the videos country. It’s because the vendor who is hosting the event doesn’t want hundreds of people to be drunk and difficult to control. If the vendor was okay with that then no problem. I have no issue with the girl drinking in public or with the cop taking the drink. I’m just saying that saying that cops should ignore the small things to focus on the big things is a slippery slope. The line between small things and big things is not always clear or a good way of determining what action to take.
Legal drinking age is 16 for beer and 18 for liquor where I live in Europe.
So what she’s doing wouldn’t be illegal here, and yeah you are allowed to drink in public places in most of Europe.
In Brazil they sell beer everywhere and you can drink in public. There are still events that you can’t bring your own alcohol to. I tried to sneak in vodka to rocking Rio and the security took it.
It’s not really illegal though the private security would be the ones to take it not the literal police
She did sound like a complete child and also I think this very much an American schtick but I have never seen a British girl say let's take a selfie with our vodka bottles. Usually the one to do that is already uncon
Actually the US has a bigger problem with drunk driving than Europe. Because we don't all have drivers licences for 5 years before we can drink. So we don't have to take illegal alcohol somewhere way out away from the police to drink it and then drive home drunk.
Also by the time we get our licences we've been through the phase where alcohol is new and being drunk is funny.
The US drinking age is braindead in more than one way.
True, but by the time we get drivers licenses (17-18) we've learned to drink responsibly. And to do that we can depending on parents do that at home or just go to a local bar or dancing, we don't have to go to illegal drinking parties.
And most people I grew up with just took a taxi home at night. Being seen drunk or slightly intoxicated is just not an issue so no need to hide from the cops.
Actually the US has a bigger problem with drunk driving than Europe.
This is the reason for US drinking laws. You dont need the laws if its not already a problem. You act as if it's arbitrary. More drivers>more duis>more alcohol laws.
The laws exist because they (were perceived to have) needed to exist, they didn't create the need for themselves just by existing.
Furthermore
Because we don't all have drivers licences for 5 years before we can drink. So we don't have to take illegal alcohol somewhere way out away from the police to drink it and then drive home drunk.
Do you think teenagers are going to speakeasies?
They drink at home. This is literally a private venue.
Also by the time we get our licences we've been through the phase where alcohol is new and being drunk is funny.
The average age for the age where teenagers start drinking is 15/16 for both most of europe and the US. This is literally just cheesy European exceptionalism. It's an entirely made up phenomenon based on nothing.
I can assure you, the number of people who are habitual dui offenders that also didnt start drinking until they turned 21 is virtually 0.
How is every european edgelord somehow an "expert" on American teen drinking culture?
The US drinking age is braindead in more than one way.
Correct, but none of the ways you mentioned are them. Drinking age laws are the wildest of mild deterrents in most places.
The US has a bigger drinking problem with minors because of the drinking laws. The laws are the cause, not the solution.
And I've been to drinking parties in the US. If only they happened at home, but what happens is some 21+ buys a pickup bed full of beer and booze and they drive out of town to a lake or clearing to get drunk. Then drive drunk back to town. I actually left because I didn't want to get arrested and barred from entering the US in the future.
Describing a situation does not make it the norm. What you're describing makes up an absolutely tiny portion of dui events. As much of a banger as it sounds. That is NOT the average Friday night for very many people at all. I was literally a US partying teen, how are you going to tell me that house parties aren't a thing?
I actually left because I didn't want to get arrested and barred from entering the US in the future.
Wise choice, underinformed mental depiction of the US.
And i have to double back.
Do US teens not drink until theyre too old, or do they drink too much and too aggressively as teens? Which is fhe institutional reinforced problem? It's not both.
I have yet to meet a single American that hasn't been out drinking below 21. And that is the whole problem. If you're underage drinking in the US you hide it and no one is ever going tell you enough. Then the parties I've been witness to and friends spoke of regularly involved driving home after drinking.
Meanwhile over here we can drink beer at 16 and in the open. And we buy it legally at a bar when going out. Those bars have a legal obligation to cut you off if you get too drunk. Also there are always people sober enough to tell you not to get on your bike and take a cab.
Driving underage drinking into hiding has enabled it to get out of control in the US.
I'm sure house parties are a thing too. But again in the US most of suburbia at least means those people at the party had to come there by car and have to go home by car. Calling cabs to your under age drinking parties, you're the partying criminologist, tell me how common that is.
Having to hide drinking is causing problems. Having an idiotic drinking age is causing people to hide drinking.
So to be clear, you're throwinf this argument out?
Also by the time we get our licences we've been through the phase where alcohol is new and being drunk is funny.
If you're underage drinking in the US you hide it and no one is ever going tell you enough
You know in many places there's no legal drinking age in the US, right? It's just the sale. You really should reserve your comments for things you know about.
You're literally just speculating based on a handful of your cousins' parties.
Driving underage drinking into hiding has enabled it to get out of control in the US.
Source: ass.
That's not the driver behind drunk driving. First offenses literally lag 9-15 behind first drink.
I'm sure house parties are a thing too. But again in the US most of suburbia at least means those people at the party had to come there by car and have to go home by car.
Oh I'm sure you're oh so sure about this too.
Is this why most men with duis are having their first offense 8 years later?
Calling cabs to your under age drinking parties, you're the partying criminologist, tell me how common that is.
Well I'm not a cabologist, admittedly. But apparently users are fairly common now, considering teens make up a very small portion of duis.
Your entire theory is based on a fallacy based on one event you've been to.
Imagine if I went to a soccer game in England and said that's what the UK is like.
Having to hide drinking is causing problems.
Have you every seen any high school movie ever? Beer isnt treated like meth, no one is trying THAT hard not to get caught.
Also there are always people sober enough to tell you not to get on your bike and take a cab.
Are you getting enough air between sniffing your own farts? I am begging you to give me a straight answer. Do you think a sober friend/DD is a uniquely European phenomenon? Are you genuinely so far up your own ass?
This is such a flabbergasting thought.
Again. The overall average for first dui is as high as 24 years old. For habitual offenders the first dui is even higher at 30.
Most dui arrests are on people old enough to remember lady sovereign (i assume you're british, and dont care enough otherwise). Explain to me how this is caused by teens never having heard of a ride home.
While you havent demonstrated anything of note when it comes to American duis, you have given me a good anecdote of amti-american narcissism.
There's enough wrong in the US to address, why make things up?
There is no rule requiring bottles to be in a brown bag. There is a rule forbidding people to drink in public, and people use a brown bag to not follow it
Blame irresponsible drunk driving teens who have ZERO impulse control. There's a reason Michael Jackson was involved in making the law from 18 to 21 with a simple fact of logic
Sure about that brain statement ? Because you don't seem to make out the difference between teens in general, and teens who are literally putting other people's as well as their lives at risk under the guise of freedom
Open container laws in the US are, at best, ridiculous and, at worst, harmful. They serve to excessively police marginalized communities and generate revenue for police depts through unnecessary tickets and fines.
Just here to reiterate that I meant what I said. In US cities where drinking in public is legal and regulated—Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Savannah, GA come to mind—these laws haven't caused widespread underage drinking or chaos on the streets. Come on now, Savannah invests heavily in preserving its historic architecture—if public drinking was a major safety threat, they probably wouldn’t allow it on the principle of protecting historic buildings alone.
However, in other parts of the country with strict open container laws, these are often disproportionately enforced against the unhoused and/or members of underserved communities, reinforcing the narrative that they are "criminals" and therefore unworthy of public investment or even basic empathy. When, in reality, their so-called "crimes" are minor offenses like loitering or breaking open container laws—ticky-tack shit.
He’s real for this.
Lol no he's not who cares about alcohol.
She gonna swing around like that fa sho deserved to get prohibited
I don't even know what you're trying to tell me. Alcohol should be prohibited because she has it?
Either underage or not a location where drinking is allowed. He's a good guy cause he's not punishing her more than taking it.
I think you misunderstood this. She could have likely been fined or arrested for having an open container in public (some communities in America have hefty fines.)
Additionally, she looked to be under the age of 21. She could also have faced underage possession charges. “He’s a real one” means he simply had her give up the bottle instead of absolutely f*cking her life up.
A rare thing for cops to do the right thing.
You might be too young to get it sorry bud
If she’s acting like that before her bottle it’s probably good it was taken away from her.
Bruh i'm 30.
I'm just not american.
Being American has 0 to do with it
Okay 👍
“Land of the free” 😂😂
This happens everywhere
Not really? In most places the age of drinking is 18
In Europe in some places it’s 16 We had a program for school where you got to go abroad, in the US it’s 21 to drink, and all of us got excited to be able to drink in Spain, but the teachers were on us and wouldn’t let that happen lol. It would of been bad to have a bunch of drunk 16 year olds in a foreign country lol
Ok? Drinking underage is still drinking underage.
[deleted]
Which is not present in most countries for what looks like is a college/uni event
Can't even bring alcohol into private venues that serve alcohol. The founding fathers would weep.
Don't forget the American experiment is the place where they tried to ban alcohol and a LOT of people died trying to do this.
Lame ass people on reddit actually applauding the cop.
Yeah if I go to a festival, I don’t want to be around teenagers drinking straight vodka. Prob the same reason they don’t hand out vodka for soccer games in other countries. Because ur surrounded by normal people in the middle of the day, and don’t need to be trashed
Every University in Europa has a 1st semester party with all kinds of alcohol sometimes even sponsored by student organizations... meanwhile USA have cops...
Not sure why you support kids taking drugs that harm their body and encourage addiction before their brains are even done properly developing. But hey if you can whine about America I guess it’s cool right
Our ancestors were drinking several liters of alcohol everyday, we have genes to take a few drinks a week without consequences.
Well our ancestors were fucking stupid and thought lightning and drought was the wrath of god. They also had no idea excess sugar was bad for you. Look at how morbidly obese King Henry VIII was and had horrible tooth aches because he ate sugar constantly
18 years old are no kids in most countries of the world... only US makes them adult at 18 but kid status till 21
Exactly lol, and in the Netherlands these student organizations get government funds to organize these events. But land of the free I guess.
bring out your bottles! ew
i love how he gets right to the point and says "what do you want to do?" . he knows and she knows exactly what that means
No. It's only 2/3 water
Happy Cake Day! 🥳✨🍰🎶
The infamous water in vodka bottle gag. Not to be out done by the old vodka in water bottle gag. Classic
You're lucky he gave you choice
True! 😭🙌🏻
Don't dance around with your bottle in daylight. Also, this gal is going to have Instagram photos of herself holding a meth pipe in two years tops...
[deleted]
Nah pattern recognition, also cool ass name.
That’s meth’d up
This was in Qatar for the World Cup wasn’t it?
thats an SFPD officer taking the bottle
Yeah I must be thinking of a different clip
There ain’t that much grass in Qatar
He was hella cool
Cool cop, he could have done way worse.
It could also be an event where you aren’t allowed to bring alcohol inside.
It is.
If this was at college I'm not entirely sure if she was under 21 and that cop was being a dick by assuming
Same thing happened to my dad somewhat recently he's 40 with ID
The cop still took it
Fucking hate cops at least in Ohio
From waving a gun around in a public protest to illegal theft with the only people you can report to being the same cops. Uhg.
Open glass containers aren’t usually allowed at events.. so instead of giving her a ticket he just took it. Seems like an nondick move to me.
We were right outside the store we bought it!!!!
Define, "right outside the store." You're clearly in an area that isn't 15ft from a liquor store. So 1 block away, in eye sight of the store, maybe down the road from the store.? Looks like you're somewhere with a no glass policy, no alcohol/ open container policy, or a closed event.

We were on the way to the car in the store parking lot
Open container laws are very common among states/local governments and can have severe penalties. I wouldn't recommend ever opening an alcoholic beverage outside without checking local laws.
It was in the bag, unopened!!!!!!!!!!
Most festivals and outdoor events don't allow alcohol brought from outside the event period. Open or not. Depending on the state, event, local laws it can be illegal to sneak it into the event.
This wasn't an event. I mean okay that's fair for her thing but I'm still allowed to complain we were heading to the car after buying it from the grocery store
The number one rule of drinking alcohol is,Know your limit and drink responsibly
No, it has the same rules as drunk driving and gun safety. Have fun and be yourself.
I followed this advice and did shots
Why won't they wake up it was only 9mm
But I have a concealed alcohol permit!
If you’re a teenager and won’t listen to the law, (waiting until you’re 21), please do it on private property and somewhere you’ll be staying overnight at or you have a sober ride home.
You have to wait until 21? What fascist hell are you living in?
The place where you’re an adult and ready for war at 18 but too young for alcohol for another 3 years.
Or go to a country with a sensible drinking age and get wrecked?
Second rule: don't be a public idiot
21 lmao what an odd country
Well atleast you can still get started in porn at 18 so silver lining 🤷
12 if there's an evangelical or conservative around. Or are you still talking about drinking?
Guys it's not an age thing. If it was they would be IDing her.
This is an area where alcohol is prohibited. Either by rule of that property or local "broken window theory" policy.
The (somewhat outdated) idea is that if you let one college girl drink in public, then before you know it the area will be infested with crime.
https://youtu.be/GV9MamysCfQ?si=efso1E8tsaRdRzjf
I think its just that open container is illegal in many places, shes most likely too young (and tbh I can easily believe a cop would do this without IDing her), and a person this naive with a full bottle of alcohol out in public just... really does not need to be in possession of that bottle lmao (though thats obviously a matter of opinion)
I thought drinking in public was not allowed in general,(19) I don't know if this is true or not since I don't drink.
It’s allowed where I am. I’ll often have a beer and walk around the city. I don’t really notice tons of people using the privilege irresponsibly but I’m in a nice area.

Mind you, what I'm describing isnt necessarily sound, its the criminology theory behind it, but reality may or may not match.
That sounds crazy for a town that size. Keep ypur head on a swivel lol.
Thankfully we don't live there anymore but I still keep a close eye on my surroundings because of it
I am too European for this
Same, cops here wouldn't even blink at that and just continue on in case something serious actually happens.
[deleted]
I've never once in my life feared being shot in the streets here, even when things got spicy because of alcohol levels. And I'm not that young.
Now that I think about it, I've never heard a single gunshot in my life

Having a drinking age of 21 and public drinking laws like the US and using police to actually enforce the idiocy is a complete waste of tax money.
Lol. Europe is so much safer in general because of no guns. Alcohol is the least of your problems.
The people who do those things get sued and life goes on
Everyone knows you can't drink alcohol without a loaded gun duuh.
not what i said buddy
Legal drinking age is 16 for beer and 18 for liquor where I live in Europe. So what she’s doing wouldn’t be illegal here, and yeah you are allowed to drink in public places in most of Europe.
nah i think it was because it was some event that banned alcohol
Never in my life have I witnessed such an event, you have to understand that in Belgium they sell beer at Mc Donald’s.
In Brazil they sell beer everywhere and you can drink in public. There are still events that you can’t bring your own alcohol to. I tried to sneak in vodka to rocking Rio and the security took it.
It’s not really illegal though the private security would be the ones to take it not the literal police
yeah but thats not belgium
Large royal crispy bacon menu with frietsaus and a beer please!
Such an old video, it's old enough to drink here. Maybe not in the States, but I might be exaggerating.
Getting trained and given a gun to kill people: 18yo
Being allowed to drink fermented fruit juice: 21yo
Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuricaaaaaaaaaaaaa
F-yeah!
Right, but this is fermented grain juice.
Sad part is that people can train and use guns at a much younger age in many places.
🦅🦅🦅🦅
Let g you’re saying “my bwottle” like a little baby, you aren’t old enough to drink IMO
She did sound like a complete child and also I think this very much an American schtick but I have never seen a British girl say let's take a selfie with our vodka bottles. Usually the one to do that is already uncon
😹😂😹😂
The country of freedom 😂
Freedom to live, not freedom to cause car crashes and harm others because you're a drunk wreck at 19
Freedom to broadcast your titties at 18. 😐
Freedom to join the army at 17. 😐
Freedom to get married at 16. 😐
Reddit people have strange arguments
You do know this is a bigger issue in america than in europe right hahah
Actually the US has a bigger problem with drunk driving than Europe. Because we don't all have drivers licences for 5 years before we can drink. So we don't have to take illegal alcohol somewhere way out away from the police to drink it and then drive home drunk.
Also by the time we get our licences we've been through the phase where alcohol is new and being drunk is funny.
The US drinking age is braindead in more than one way.
I’m not disagreeing but doesn’t europe also have more accessible public transport, and walking / biking is more encouraged?
True, but by the time we get drivers licenses (17-18) we've learned to drink responsibly. And to do that we can depending on parents do that at home or just go to a local bar or dancing, we don't have to go to illegal drinking parties.

You make a lot of good points! Are there a lot of illegal drinking parties in the U.S.?
Hence the laws. You don't need a guard for an outhouse.
I'm not quite understanding what you're trying to say.

Andddd he misses the pitch completely. What does that have to do with age?
Oh wait a second, I forgot the legal drinking age is 21 over there lol
Sorry, I'm European. I thought this was about public drinking.
Lol. It's ok. That's also illegal here too "land of the free" and can't publicly drink a canned beer as an adult
What about the people who don't drive? What excuse will you find for them?
Are we really debating if strong liquor being available for children is a good or bad thing?
Calling 19-year-olds children is quite condescending. They can vote and they can marry, so they are adults.
The fact they can vote is scary
Why shouldn't they get to vote for the a-holes that can send them to war?
And yet they generally vote much better than pensioners.
Agreed. They really made the difference this election. Not all of them are bad
Yet their brains aren't fully developed and still have teen impulses
But they can legally buy and carry guns lmao
19 year olds are adults on paper only.
Alcohol addiction and its life damaging effects. Think of your parents and everyone around you, not an excuse if it's a fact
How do weird rules like "your bottle has to be inside a brown bag" or "20-year-old adults can't drink" help with that?
There are better ways to deal with addiction than persecution.
There is no rule requiring bottles to be in a brown bag. There is a rule forbidding people to drink in public, and people use a brown bag to not follow it
Also, that's not what persecution is
Lmao I had this happen on the Montreal metro one day, I just looked at the cop and said “merci!” And ran the fuck away!!
wait what's the problem with her having that bottle
is she under 21?
It’s the USA and they have to prosecute everything in order to keep their
police statelibertiesThis is so good. Perfecto!
Blame irresponsible drunk driving teens who have ZERO impulse control. There's a reason Michael Jackson was involved in making the law from 18 to 21 with a simple fact of logic
No, of course I’m not blaming teens, I have a brain
Sure about that brain statement ? Because you don't seem to make out the difference between teens in general, and teens who are literally putting other people's as well as their lives at risk under the guise of freedom
But guns are widely available
He’s so close minded and dares to call me dumb hahahaha
That's a low bar
Looks like a festival or something so she probably snuck that inside
It could also just be a campus fresher week sort of thing. Most schools say no open bottles
This
Lot of festivals have rules you can’t bring alcohol inside so she broke those by smuggling it in
I wanna ride that cop in his paddy wagon
MY Bott..
Ah. The land of freedom.
Smoking and Alcohol should be punishable by prison time, worst drugs there are.
Just alcohol. Smoking isn't as bad as alcohol. You can drive and smoke, but you can't safely drink and drive
Sounds more like a skill issue
You think kids should be drinking?
I think this way you won't stop anyone from drinking. Prohibition never stopped anyone from doing anything, it just makes things worse.
I didn't see any kid in this video.
No.

Open container laws in the US are, at best, ridiculous and, at worst, harmful. They serve to excessively police marginalized communities and generate revenue for police depts through unnecessary tickets and fines.
Just here to reiterate that I meant what I said. In US cities where drinking in public is legal and regulated—Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Savannah, GA come to mind—these laws haven't caused widespread underage drinking or chaos on the streets. Come on now, Savannah invests heavily in preserving its historic architecture—if public drinking was a major safety threat, they probably wouldn’t allow it on the principle of protecting historic buildings alone.
However, in other parts of the country with strict open container laws, these are often disproportionately enforced against the unhoused and/or members of underserved communities, reinforcing the narrative that they are "criminals" and therefore unworthy of public investment or even basic empathy. When, in reality, their so-called "crimes" are minor offenses like loitering or breaking open container laws—ticky-tack shit.
So again, ridiculous at best, harmful at worst.
REAL!!!!! as if
Drinking alcohol in front of kids you dont know is like a massive safety issue
There's any kids at a music festival
Edit: guys, my comment starts with "as if". You know, to imply that this is NOT the truth. Stop arguing with me like these are my opinions 😭😭

Do you meant to say, every idiot and every kid DOES know, you are drinking alcohol, because of the brown bag?
I mean, I am german, we start drinking publicly and legally at the age of 16. I never understood that rule in the US.
Idk man. All around the world people drink with kids present. It's just the us with these ridiculous laws.
What?
Cop hot AF
Does she say, "MUD!"?
She goes to say 'My bottle' but cuts herself off
She said "mine" I believe. She didn't know it was a cop that grabbed her bottle, lol
Fucking ai trash again
AI wasn’t around when this was made
You're just guessing and you're guessing wrong... This video might be older than you
I can almost hear you say "oh maaan, these idiots are way too dumb to recognize ai when they see it"
This is older than AI lol
