I’m Brazilian, and I’ll say I have no idea what a "take away"alcohol purchase means. Here you can open the can inside the market, drink it as you purchase as long as you pay it on the way out. Never heard of any laws against drinking in public, only about selling alcohol to minors and drunk driving
Comment on Here's what a Brazilian restaurant owner did after city hall banned sidewalk patio tables

Don’t know Brazilian law, but here distributing alcohol to that platform would be illegal.
Can restaurants sell alcohol as a takeaway in Brazil? If so, it would be hard to forbid that, unless you have a law about drinking in public outside restaurant premises.

Brazilian here.
It’s legal to sell alcohol as takeway and its legal to drink outside of public restaurant premises.
From the top of my head the only place that isnt allowed to drink is in football stadiums in some states.
I don’t really see a problem (aside from some drunk person falling off the platform while trying to go to the bathroom) in this solution. This could very well be in place as a permanent solution to this pub.

Not Brazilian. But as someone who has had the privilege to travel around in the past, the US was the only country I visited that had these super strict Puritan Alcohol laws.

Liquor licensing for restaurants is a think in many places in the world. So are building codes.
There might be some very good reasons for not allowing restaurants to arbitrarily setup chairs on raised platforms with no railings above concrete and then serve liquor up there.

Liquor Liscence in common. Policing where people are allowed to drink what they bought is pretty uncommon.

Is it though? I went through the whole wiki page and it tell me otherwise, though some country have nationwide ban, some have state ban, some have municipal/city ban, and most commonly are area ban.

I think many countries have those laws, whether or not they’re strictly enforced.

Also depends on where in the US. Bourbon street? Las Vegas? Atlantic City? Go for it. It’s also one of those things where it’s an unspoken rule. Community concert on the green? Just don’t have an open beer, put it into a cup and people will care less and it’s hard for cops to say anything.
It’s certainly strange, but I think the issue here is cops being more militaristic, especially against those they think they can get an easy arrest, rather than our country being the only one with drinking in public laws.
