Drinking in public can be a criminal offence and you can be fined or arrested for it:
Correct Answer: True
This statement is True. In the UK, local councils can designate specific areas where drinking alcohol in public is prohibited.
If you drink in one of these designated areas, you can be asked to stop by the police — and if you refuse or cause anti-social behaviour, you could be fined or arrested.
Behaviour fuelled by excessive drinking that causes a public nuisance can also lead to criminal charges.
