The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Drinking laws are local, or at least county level in most places. My town doesn't have any about drinking in public at all, just about drunkenness. The next town over is no public drinking at all, not even on your porch.
So there's no single answer, it will depend on where your are within the US. Couldn't say anything about Canada though, never been and don't know enough.
Be warned though, you may not be able to board a flight if you're drunk.
Ah, freedom.
Don't like the laws in your town? Your free to petition to change them.
I've lived in places with drive-through liquor stores where I could buy a gin and tonic in a styrofoam cup and drive away.
Oh dude, I'm Finnish.
We have everyman's rights.
It makes me giggle a bit that the US, which frequently has fits about "freedom" is such an authoritarian state you can't even drink on your own porch.
I mean, it’s really about what someone will choose to enforce.
Las Vegas doesn't give a fuck how drunk you are to enter the airport. Literally had to guide and push my drunk coworker through TSA. I'm not sure if he even remembers getting on the plane.
Throw in a couple quaaludes and this is the only way to fly.
I always assume those No Drunks rules is just to make sure the loud drunks stay quiet. Many people have a few drinks in the airport bar and stumble to the gate. As long as the drunk isn't being loud then they are mostly ignored.
