Prior to 1995 (?) open container or actively drinking and driving was not against the law in Indiana. As long as you blew below .1 no crime was committed.
Then came MADD and open container became against the law and the BLood alcohol level became .08.
I understand times and laws change due to lobbyists and intrest groups. I also understand that many people would not stop at one beer on the way home and at one time I believe I drank two when the job was further away from the house. Still well under the legal limit at my size weight and drinking ability at the time. Not saying the law change was for the hood or bad just different. I do not like that a friend can’t consume without being the driver without a limo style permit. Once again the limo lobby must be strong here as now the beer powered massive bikes take up street space all day.
Prior to the law change my friend made beer at home. (He is in with a small local brewery now that makes wee-Mac Osiris and others) and he needed bottles. Everyday after a hard hot days work I would stop at the local store and buy a bottle with the correct top. Pop a top and drive home. Take him the bottles and in a few days I got the bottles back with nice frosty beer inside. No harm no fowl no laws broken and you can say that in my own little way I help create Indianapolis’s highest selling craft beer business.
