England fans given stern warning about drinking inside cars while passengers at first World Cup game

England fans travelling to their first World Cup match in Texas have been warned that drinking alcohol inside vehicles, even as passengers, is illegal under local laws. Unlike in England, where passengers can legally consume alcohol in private cars, Texas prohibits open containers of alcohol in all vehicle occupants, including those not driving. Fans risk fines or legal trouble if they attempt to follow the customary English practice of drinking cans of beer on the way to the game.
