No, your passengers may not drink while you're driving.
You as the driver will still receive the charge for open containers while driving, which is a pretty serious offence. It can land you jailtime if you've had prior offences of almost any nature, in most states.
Tip: If you have to ask about it, it's probably illegal.
Update: This is not entirely true. In most states, it is against the "open container" law. However, there are a few states that allow you to drink as a passenger. I know for sure that Missouri is one - I believe that Mississippi and Kentucky are the same. Even in states where it is illegal, as a driver you have the right to request a breathalizer if you are caught, leaving you with the open container (misdemeanor) ticket, which is about $120.00.
