I remember drinking in downtown Blacksburg (actually sitting on the wall)..
...next to the VT infirmary drinking beer with a bud. He said, "let's don't take our wallets with us" when we got out of the car with our cooler of beer, and that turned out to be the right decision.
We saw people walking through the crowd drinking bottles of wine, liquor and beer, but one of the BPD officers walked past one or two of those and came straight up to us asking what we were drinking, and for our IDs. We told him we didn't have ID, so he decided he didn't want to cite or arrest us for drinking in public as "John Does," so he just had us pour our beers out and leave.
Yeah, good decision...lol
