Usually, the statement that a town or state has an open container law means that the locality prohibits open alcohol containers in public places or in vehicles. The state of Georgia has such a law. I’m not sure how the Savannah law overrides the state law, but the Savannah historic district allows possession and consumption on the street of one alcoholic beverage in an open plastic container of not more than 16 ounces. I don’t get the apparent discrepancy here. But I’m not the lawyer here. Mr. Pastis is.
