Quick question guys and gals!

[FieryDragon]

Next weekend, a few friends and I are heading up to Newport Beach in California. We were thinking about having a party there and you know the usual stuff. BBQ on the beach games and DRINKING!

I know that in San Diego, it's illegal to drink on the beach for a year right now. It's a trial law thing!

My question is:

Can we drink in Newport Beach?

I've been searching the net for awhile now but I can not get a straight answer anywhere. Someone please help me that either really knows these laws or lives nearby and can give me the info.

Thanks everyone! Take it easy!

Just do it anyway, and if the cops show up, ask them. If they say yes, then run. If they say no....run anyway, confuses the hell outta them.

have you tried to simply get the sheriff's office number and calling them up and asking? Surely they would know.

Good idea gene, better to be safe than sorry. All it takes is one rookie that loves his job and your fried.

I might end up doing that.

rofl!!
Or if they say yes just say "I'm sorry officer, but it's safer for a bunch of drunk guys to be confined in one area and not running around causing havok elsewhere, but if you insist I'll get them out."
My bro used that excuse when he got a big noise complain and a bunch of his friends were underage

Ignorance is not a defense. If it is illegal then you can be charged. Check first.

Yeah Apache, I'll end up calling the local PD and ask them.

From a pay phone though! haha
