No. It use to be  but it changed in 2008 I think cause they realised that too many people were being arrested in those restaurant in the streets in CT. So go outside and have a beer.

Yeah!! thanks! Ma!!

are you sure? I thought it was ok as long as you at a restaurant table, but surely if you traipsing down the main drag, swigging from a bottle of moderately priced Shiraz the 5-0 might take issue?

You get fined for it, not sure if you can get arrested. last december i was fined when i was cought leaving the beach with an open bottle of alcohol by some security/police who were about to start their shift :-/ . it was early in the morning.

I don't go to the beach at night anymore, a year ago my lady and I got robbed by a gang of teens on Camps Bay.

No. I was talking shit. Depending on who you are and where your luck lies then you can either get arrested or fined but you do get a record.

Been arrested twice in Pta and once in Jhb for this, Had to pay R300 fine, they call it "admission of guilt" and if you don't, you have to appear in court.

Dont think they'll keep a criminal record though cos the don't even take your prints and you can tell them the wrong name...

Was in PE some time ago, was walking in the street with a gla** of whisky in my hand (dont ask why). Anyway this copper steps up to me and I was convinced that I was gettin arrested, To my surprise he just took the gla**, poured the contents out on the pavement and told me to keep it moving...Ma boys who are based there told me its very rare that you'd get arrested for public drinkin there...Wish GP was like that...

ok firstly walking down the street with a gla** of whisky is either kak ganstah or kinda sad, I think it depends on if you had rocks or not and if it was a tumbler or a high ball..... but seriously why were you?
