Odds are bad for the hypothetical couple. 

I give 9.5:10

SHHHH DannyG!!  Don't give it away, it's nice to go to WP and not have anyone around!

Solution 2: Learn to the joy of drinking beer through a straw.

I think it also depends upon which park point resident's house you are in front of while on the beach. Some of the residents are bothered more by the activities of casual beachgoers than others. Some of the houses are also closer to the beach than others.

Pick a spot where it is not as likely for someone to see you from their living room and you might stand a better chance. If my recollection is correct there used to be, or still is a playground across the s-curve called the "Tot Lot," which is how the kiddie beach got it's name.

Chances of getting a officer called down to the beach are very great if a ppoint resident sees that illegal activity.

Plus that 10 o'clock bedtime rule is enforced on even the nicest, warmest summer evenings. You'll get your name written down on a pad of paper.

Gotta stay off those people's beaches.

It sounds like I am pretty safe.  I am not talking about a raucous party, just very low key hangin out with the kids type thing.  We bought a small house not far from that beach last fall, so that's why I am particular to that beach.  Sounds like I may have a few neighbors sounding in here.  I am hoping to meet more of the neighbors once the weather gets a little nicer.  Thanks for all the replies!

Rocked it on the beach nearly every day last July and August. No patrols. No problems. A little discretion, along with pack in/pack out, goes a long way.

I've done my share of imbibing on Park Point beaches -- like Adam says, be discreet and don't leave your trash behind. We'd also pour our liquid refreshment into plastic cups, just to be safe.

I'm not sure if this thread is dead or not but I was gonna comment the other day and then I didn't for some reason. 

I was stopped on the beach many many many times in my youth but I was always being real loud and annoying and usually there was a fire and some other form of debauchery in play.  The neighbors were the ones to call it in.  I'm sure.  We just thought they were all @-holes at the time but naturally most Park Pointers are great people and they were just tired of the noise and the mess.  Our favorite spot was the old school where there is now a McMansion.  We were so mad they built that house there ... like the people did it just to mess with us.  Truly, Park point residents get a real bad rap when in fact I can think of about a down totally awesome people who live there.  

Anyway, I have personally been busted many times but all I ever got was the booze confiscated and once or twice a parking ticket.  If you are discrete and it is one or two beers no prob I say.  In fact one time I was there and the patrol came by some 30-40 somethings having a good time (and drinking) and the officers were good natured enough to pose for pictures with the people on their 4-wheeler.  True story.  

But for me, if I'm there with my kids and we do go down maybe 15 times a year, I get uncomfortable if it is during the day and a group is there with a cooler and a case of beer (especially if it's miller lite or something) and they are obviously having a parrty, (as Jared Allen would say).  Most of the time people are nice and will even offer you a drink but it's not something my kids are used to and I think that is taking it too far.  (I know I know I just admitted to taking it too far for a decade in my youth ... hypocrite, I'll say it for you.)   If you really want to party, got to Pike Lake or something.  Visiting the (stolen from Ojibwe) Wisconsin Point can be nice for that, too.

Oh sorry man, I wish you would have posted the other day.  I already spent all day digging up my old twisted sister and white snake albums, and just put 16 brand new "d" size batteries in my huge ass boombox with dual cassette player.  Me and my buddies, all 40 yrs++, are gonna take over the beaches this summer.  Sorry bud, it's as good as done.  

Hey just giving you a hard time.  Like you, I went through a decade of debauchery. It was called the 1980's. (I graduated in '85) So I am an old guy.  I promise not to do anything that will make you or your kids uncomfortable.

Hmmm.  I wonder if huffing is cool, though.

Whitesnake ... 80s music, the jean jackets, the hair ... I'm glad I didn't live through that in my  prime ... northstars and 80s cartoons especially on Saturday and wrestling were maybe the only good thing to come from the 80s and of course the 1980 USA hockey team.

Dirt bag free...

The gas prices will cure that a bit this year. $4 a gallon by Memorial Day Weekend.

... well, the saddest thing about my 80s experiences on Park Point is that I never hung got wasted on the beach with 'Ol Billy Meier.  At least I don't think I ever did.

16 D batteries, heh.  Reminds me that last week I saw a 1980's vintage dad walking along Superior St with 2 kids and a HUGE "ghetto blaster" as we used to call them (without any irony, we were all pre-PC then).  If I had been a slight bit quicker on the snapshot I would've sent it in for a banner.

Glad you are doing well, Billy.  Maybe we should start a new Billy in Vietnam thread on PDD that those Godless Commies aren't likely to shut down like FB or Gmail.  Of course now that we've got a 1,000 members I guess we're right on the heels of Facebook ...
