What is the penalty for being pulled over sober with a bottle of liquor in the back seat

On many occasions, I drive with some liquor or beer in my backseat but I don't usually drive drunk or anything. I was just curious to know what type of trouble I'd be in if I was pulled over? I believe this is referred to as an "open container law"?

Yes, your question is referring to Open Container Laws & Regulations. Each state has this law in effect, but the enforcement and severity of the penalties vary by state. Some states will fine you as little as $25 with no points on your record, while other states charge heftier fines, charge traffic points, and can even lead to a license suspension (for minors).

What is considered as a violation of "Open Container Law" can be different among states as well. Some states are stricter and consider even bottles without their seal broken put in the glove department in violation, while other states would not count that as a violation.
