It is unlawful in Arizona for the driver or passengers to have an “open container” of any alcohol in the cab. This applies to open containers of alcoholic beverages with even a small amount of beverage present, or open containers with alcoholic beverages in them.

Glendale Lawyer for Open Bottle Violation Defense
Open alcohol container is a class 2 misdemeanor, usually punished by a fine plus surcharges. In a vehicle with multiple occupants in which no one will take the blame, the officer will often cite the person who is closest to the container or the driver. We represent both drivers and passengers charged with alcohol violations.
We also represent many Arizona State University students, who may be charged with additional offenses such as minor in possession, or underage consumption. Arizona State University students may be subject to suspension or expulsion for alcohol offenses that violate school policies.
