No it isn't. This is a state-by-state thing. Many states don't allow you to consume alcohol in public, period. Some don't care (I think Louisiana is pretty lax regarding this if I recall?)
Ah, understood, thanks for pointing it out
To make it even more complicated, counties, of which states are composed, can also set the terms of alcohol use in their jurisdiction. There's "dry" counties all around the US where alcohol cannot be legally purchased.
And then there are counties where public consumption is fine and prostitution is legal. So... idk. It's a big country. Montana, just one of the states, is larger than Germany, and it's only the 4th largest state. The largest state is over four times bigger than Montana.
