If you were within eyesight of the street, you have an open container in public. That's illegal. Put up a high fence.

Edit: You, people, are so ignorant of the law.

If you are old enough to drink you should have told the police to take a hike. If that is all of the story (which I highly suspect it is not).

If you are in the UK then your garden is your own private property. Unless you are causing a disturbance (ie with loud music etc) then the police cant tell you nuffin

Wow that's so weird. Alcohol is legal, especially on your own property. Did you ask the police WHY? Where do you live?

tbh this does not surprise me now, i am in my 40s my daughter in her early- mid twentys.

But if i were to want to buy alcohol and she were with me, I can not buy it if she has no proof of her age on her.

We don't drink anyway, but Sainsburys said this is the law, we discovered this in December when someone else was not served!

the police can't tell you to pour away your drink on your own property, but they can in certain town centres where they have no drinking policies.

In UK it's legal. You can also take a child into a place where they sell alcohol and purchase it for their consumption, as long as it isn't or they are not sat in a bar. Tell Original if you CAN'T drink NUFFIN then you can drink something
