Drinking and driving kills far too many innocent people. Open alcohol just shouts out to the world that you intend to drink even if you haven't sipped yet. From the Nevada Revised Statutes:
"2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, it is unlawful for a person to have an open container of an alcoholic beverage within the passenger area of a motor vehicle while the motor vehicle is upon a highway"
"2. The additional penalty imposed pursuant to subsection 1 must not exceed a total of $1,000, 6 months of imprisonment or 120 hours of community service."

It shouldnt be that bad at the most i would say u will just have to pay a fine & probation & maybe some classes on drinking & driving I know that it might be diffrent in other cities . In some cities its even considered as a D W I .

Dude, you were drinking and driving! Did you not know that was a serious crime? or did you just not care?
How did you expect they would treat that...
anyway, it's way worse than a traffic ticket. Prepare to take public transit for awhile. (which is to say, this'll be a great couple of years to live in NYC or SFO, where all the cool people take transit.)

did you have alcohol content in your body. did you blow below state level. if you blew below state level and you had an open container in the car, I would guess up to 6 months in jail and up to 2500 fine. the judge could suspended some or all of your jail time and fine if you were not over the limit of alcohol on your breath. and if you did have alcohol on your breath, the judge may suspended some or all of your jail time and make you pay the fine in full.
