Can you have an open case of beer in your car?

It depends entirely on where you live. Laws regarding open containers of alcohol in a car vary significantly by state and even by county within some states.

Here's a general guideline:

* Most states prohibit open containers of alcohol in the passenger compartment of a vehicle. This means you can't have an open beer, even if you're not the one driving.

* Some states allow open containers in the trunk or bed of a truck, but not in the passenger area.

* Some states have zero tolerance policies for open containers, regardless of whether you're driving or not.

It's always best to check your local laws. You can find this information on your state's Department of Motor Vehicles website or by contacting your local police department.

Here are some potential consequences of having an open container of alcohol in your car:

* Fines: You could be issued a ticket and fined.

* Points on your license: Your driving record could be affected.

* Impoundment: Your car could be towed and impounded.

* Jail time: In some cases, you could be arrested and jailed.

Be safe and responsible. Don't drink and drive, and be aware of the open container laws in your area.
