Good stop I'm glad you didn't get a ticket. Its been my experience that Texas City has a bunch of pretty nice Cops. I do believe that The Oficer was a little off base in his opinion that O'Doul's could be classified as a an alcoholic beverage. It would take 10 cans to equal 1 can of many light beers. I don't think impairment is an issue. II do understand why most oficers wouldn't be to crazy about folks driving around drinking it though.Commander Cody wrote: Now he asked if I had been drinking. I was drinking an O’Doul’s. He said that I could get in a lot of trouble for driving with an open container. I didn’t know at the time, but O’Doul’s contains 0.5% alcohol by volume, which he pointed out to me. Anyway, no ticket. Good stop all in all. I do have questions though, like why did he let me drive off drinking my O’Doul’s and why can I buy it before noon on Sunday?
Remember when it was legal to stop and buy a beer on the way home from work and drink it while driving? Is it lives saved or a freedoms lost?
