Beer , sake , whiskey and sho chu were sold in vending machines in front of liquor shops all over Japan until a couple of years ago . One can still walk down Ginza quaffing a beer or a glass cup of sake without a hassle . I was back home on Long Island a couple of years ago with a foot in the road in front of my parents’ place sipping a brew and a cop stopped to give me a warning . Land of the free ?

some people are more "free" than others.

To be this "free" you have to bag it.

In South Eastern LA. you can drink in public, parks included. I can not imagine watching Mardi Gras floats go by without a cooler of beer at hand. You bring back memories of Japan (Okinawa) for me. I remember buying Saki in those neat little sealed cups(200ml) or beer and going down and drinking it by the water front. Sometimes with a bentos box I shared with my toddler daughter. She’s a blond also (kawaii ne).
