A.What do you mean by public place:
Public Place Means:
..........""Public" in this context refers to outdoor spaces such as roads, walkways or parks, or in a moving vehicle. Drinking in bars, restaurants, stadiums, and other such establishments, for example, is not generally considered to be "in public" even though those establishments are open to the general public ........."
BUT
Under relevant provisions of "Excise Act" (Applicable to concerned State) it says that, if a person is found to:
(a) consume liquor in a public place;
(b) consume liquor in public place and creates nuisance; and/or
(c) permits drunkenness or allows assembly of unsocial elements on the premises of liquor establishment; shall be punishable under law.
In your case, provisions of THE EXCISE LAW of your State are applicable to you.
