I had to ask - is it legal to carry open beer bottles in Hamburg?

I see people carry and drinking from open beer bottles everywhere in the city, so I had to look it up. Beer is an important part of German culture. The tax rates for alcoholic beverages in Germany are below average compared to the rest of Europe and there are very few regulations governing availability. Drinking in public is generally legal and considered socially normal. Above photo is from the subway.

Somedays are just meant to be beach days, to chill with a friend! First, I did an uber run to nearby Costco in the town of Lihue, where I bought us Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs! Then we were good to go. Kalapaki beach was just a quick 15 minute walk from the Ship. I realized I did the same thing with my Cousin Cathy , back in 2020, when I was here on my first cruise to Hawaii! Today, I spent the afternoon chilling with good buddy Sherrie Cornett.
