Post No more drinking behind the wheel in Montana

HELENA, Mont. - Some Montana motorists, the joke goes, measure distances driven by how many beers they can down along the way. But the long-cherished right to have a cold one behind the wheel is about to end.

State lawmakers passed an open-container ban Friday that makes Montana one of the last states to outlaw drinking while driving.


I guess it's gonna suck even more driving on Montana freeways now. First goes the "reasonable & prudent" speed limit law, now the drinking. It's becoming less and less "kooky" by the day ;-)

Yeah, so was I. What's even more shocking, it's still legal in Mississippi. But I guess it makes sense - what else are you gonna do while driving hundreds and hundreds of miles with nothing around?

Just a question about that law, is there any drunk driving laws? Cuz you can be drinking a beer and not be drunk.
