I think many countries have those laws, whether or not they’re strictly enforced.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_in_public
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.

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.
