Depends on the state.  In Maryland, if you are over 18 you can have alcohol sealed in your trunk.  Remember if you have a 6 pack and 1 beer is missing it is considered open.

you can get charged with minor possession. if its open than they can charge you for DUI and open container + minor possession.

One has to be under the influence to be charged with a DUI. And it is a fine, court-date, and/or license revocation/suspension for transporting.


Actually, my friend, you can be dead sober and still get a DUI, its happened here in Texas a lot of times. By Texas law, and many others im sure, Driving Under the Influence is defined as being affected by or hindered by alcohol while driving. Therefore in Texas even if your the DD and your friend is in the backseat drunk, if he smells the alcohol he can write you a DUI even if your sober.....its a raw deal and stupid really, but its happened to a close friend of mine and a judge upheld it in court when he fought it. If the cops' a big enough dickhead he can write you a ticket.....

Where are you from?
At least where I am it's fine to have alcohol in the car as long as it's not open or in reach of the driver(even if you're a minor).

i think in NZ we can only get done if we are underage and are drinking...well drinking and driving too. Usually the cops will make you tip out any open bottles.. but if you get a nice cop then the other unopened drinks remain safe :P

In Illinois, its illegal for any alcohol transport underage, closed/sealed or not.  

Once you are 21, it must be sealed, in back seat or trunk.  No open drinks for any passengers.

In India you are not allowed to have alcohol till the age of 21 when you are 21 you are allowed to have it.
But In India for Driving after Drinking is a Crime because it may cause accidents .
As i concern DRINK AND DRIVE is a big risk to life
