Not that I am particularly
bothered either way, but I'd be a bit worried about myself if I bought a couple of bottles of cider, and couldn't actually wait till I got home to start drinking them.

The original poster knew having the open bottle was an offence, so he's obviously not bothered about whether he's within the law or not. Do we assume that 'I had only had the one, so I was in no danger of a DUI' means if he hadn't seen the cop, he'd have drunk the other one as well?

All sounds like a bit of a problem.

I think you misread me.
I had been home during the day doing laundry and such, and went to the hardware store for a few things to do some repairs. As the hardware store is a little way distant, I brought a cider for the trip there and one for the trip home- not a large amount, as I'm six feet and over 200 lbs with a high metabolism. Just enough to take the edge off for a few minutes, really. It would have worked out to two 12 oz ciders in about two hours.

I'm not terribly fussed over minor breaches of the law. I'll piss in the bushes if I have to, I'll sometimes ride without a seat belt, I sometimes go well over the speed limit, and sometimes will have an open drink with me if the mood hits. If that makes me a bad person, so be it I guess.
