It's basically never enforced unless you're being a nuisance or a minority. It's just a law so that if someone is being a drunken pest but isn't otherwise doing anything illegal then the cops still have cause to lock them up until they sober up (aka the drunk tank). It is a law that is intended to be selectively enforced but like most selectively enforced laws, it will be enforced more heavily against certain people.
Bingo. I'm a middle-aged white guy and can't imagine the police saying anything. Last time I was told I couldn't have my beer was by a lady in the park by the boat ramp.
Told her, "I didn't know that! <sips beer> I'll keep that in mind. <walking off drinking again> LOL, she was visibly shocked. Can't imagine how people go through life lawful good, how boring.
