I always found the rules about public drinking in the US to be more strange than the drinking age.

Depends on the area, there are some where it's legal to drink outside as long as it's from a local business

Which means there are areas where you can't even sit outside a Cafe or bar and have a beer. This seems so strange.

You misunderstand you can drink at a cafe/bar's outdoor patio anywhere in the US.

The places I was talking about in my original comment are called DORA - "Designated Outdoor Drinking Area" and usually span the whole downtown of a city. Those have cheap, but reusable plastic cups that you can get refilled at any business downtown.

Really great for festivals where you just pop in for a refill and head back out to keep watching a stage show or whatever. It cuts down on waste over cans/bottles too.

Ah alright that makes a lot more sense. As I said that seemed strange. Thanks for clarifying! I love learning about different cultures and laws.
