You are not allowed to have access to an open container while in the driver's seat in the Netherlands.

I had to look this up but apparently the UK doesn't either.

Still, if a police officer exists within 10 miles of you and sees you and pulls you over its going to cause you a massive delay.

I think its a 20 minute minimum wait before breath tests, then blood at a station.

There are a few city-wide regulations in Scotland that prohibit it, possibly in other parts of the UK as well, but there's indeed no such national law.

In Poland, drinking in public space (with some exceptions) is forbidden. Sometimes police will issue fines even for “intention to drink” if they see a person with an unopened bottle of beer.

That's not true. E.g. Lithuania has laws restricting it (can not even have opened alcohol bottles inside of a car).

To my knowledge, in Spain you're not allowed to drink in public(?) Whether or not people/the police care seems to be an entirely different matter, though, and also depend on the city/region.

It's allowed at the national level. Just some cities chose to ban it in either the entire city or certain areas.

Huh? Please see [1] for examples (aka "Sweden has entered the chat").
