Best Answer

In most states and provinces it is illegal to have an unsealed bottle of alcohol in the vehicle.

Some places have provisions to allow for inaccessible places such as the trunk of a car or in a container in bed of Truck. I guess the theory is to prevent the passenger of driver from drinking while the vehicle is moving.
