Illegal, yes, but you just have to be smart about it, and discreet. Slip one of those "Coke" or "Pepsi" can coolers around your canned beer and no one will bug you.
Sit out in the open on the beach or at the park guzzling booze openly and yeah, you're begging for a hot nightstick injection.
Btw, licensed restaurants with outdoor patios are also "in public" yet it is perfectly legal to drink there. You're outside, you're among the public.... what's the difference? You're better off drinking there than sitting in a public park or beach where you could get nabbed, fined, etc.
