Actually, on private property, you can drink like a fish AND carry concealed (or in the open for that matter) so long as the owner of the property is okay with it. Having said that, only an idiot would take a chance of having something untoward happen and, were I at my friend's house, I would ask him/her to hold my weapon AND my car keys if I planned on some heavy imbibing.

Of course, that is just my opinion. I could be wrong.
