Drinking In Public Now Permitted In Most Areas Of Brooklyn

Drink to this: A Bronx judge gave the thumbs up to people who want to drink booze in apartment building elevators, gyms, lobbies and laundry rooms.

“It’s a victory for everybody. It’s a victory for the community,” said Steven Chavez, whose November 2012 arrest led to Judge Shari Michels’ ruling.

Chavez was in his aunt’s apartment building on Rogers Place at 1 a.m. when two cops said they spotted him “inside an elevator holding a half-full, open bottle of Ciroc vodka.”

The cops slapped Chavez with a summons for drinking in public, then arrested him for allegedly shoving the officer who tried to give him the ticket.

1. My Friend "Gentry"

Played deck (aka street) hockey in a league, and his knee is junk. He had a system - the cooler with the ice and 2 beers is ready after the shower, he ices his knee for a 2-beer interval.
