The World Cup is thus far proving to be not only a smashing success for the U.S. men's national team, but also one for consumers in American host cities like Boston.
As is the case in most of America, the public consumption of alcohol in Boston is illegal. The city's municipal code states that "no person shall drink any alcoholic beverage" or "possess an open container" of alcohol "while on, in or upon any public way," in any place where the public has access, in any "park or playground, conservation area or recreation area," with violations punishable by a fine of up to $200.
