We are often asked by clients if "roadies" are illegal, and if so, who could be convicted? Roadies are beers or alcoholic beverages that are drank in the vehicle on the way to an event or party. The easy answer is yes, roadies are illegal, and the driver is the one who will get in trouble. In Illinois, it is illegal to carry an open bottle of alcohol, even if it is wine or hard alcohol that has been re-corked. The penalty includes a $750 fine and could also include a DUI conviction.

Roadies should really be prohibited in all states. DUI accidents result from them.
