Local ordinances vary in their language and scope. The other type of open container law is a state law found in the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, formerly found in the Pennsylvania Crimes Code, that makes it unlawful for people in motor vehicles to possess an open alcoholic beverage container or to consume such while the vehicle is on a highway. [75 Pa. C.S. § 3809].
