Motorcycle Helmet Law 2023

Talking Transportation
Beer in car

Various Lawmakers Are Proposing to Make It Easier (or Harder) to Drink and Drive in Connecticut

By JIM CAMERON | 4 mins ago

The Connecticut Legislature is back in session, saving us from ourselves (and each other). And the collection of proposed bills this session, numbering in the hundreds, includes many that would affect our state’s transportation laws. Once again lawmakers are debating our state’s “open container” law as Connecticut is one of only 10 states where it is legal for a passenger in a car to have an open can of beer, hard cider or even a bottle of Jack Daniels as the vehicle drives along. Of course, the driver would never be drinking, just the passengers — so that would keep us all safe, right? At the same time, some lawmakers want to extend the pandemic happy hour law to keep allowing “to go” drinks from bars and restaurants.
