   North American vs French view of alcohol

   Social studies question: comparing North American vs French view of alcohol   
      
   I recently read an account of a student in paris who enjoyed a glass of wine   
   in a public park in paris. She commented on how the park supervisor told her   
   she couldn't bring glass into the park...but didn't comment on the wine.   
      
   On the same token, my father, who used to fly for an airline, would buy   
   himself a half bottle of champagne while on layover in paris, and enjoy it   
   in a park. At that time, he says it was not illegal.   
      
   Is it legal to enjoy a glass of wine in a public park in Paris (sans glass)?
