It is not legal in Alberta to drive a motor vehicle with an open container of alcohol. This law also affects the passenger who is drinking alcohol.
Most states have open container laws that state its a no no. You will not get the ticket the passenger will but you will be hasseled for searches and checks that you dont need.
