I seriously doubt anyone from the meet called the cops so it's pretty apparent that the drinking was obvious to people either driving by or working at Sonic. In my opinion, it's much better to cooperate and have just a few people leave instead of lying to the cop and having him decide that since there have already been complaints but no one will own up, that the meet should just be shut down all together.
It is private property. If they don't want the meet there, the cops can tell people to leave.
I like beer... I like beer a lot. I also drink it in bars or at my house because that's where's it's legal. It's not worth the ticket and it's the same as those idiots in trucks doing burnouts... it draws attention and something that simple could easily get a meet shut down. I would say that just being asked to leave is getting off VERY easy.
Relax people.. it's a car meet. Go, see cars, talk to people and enjoy it. If people can behave themselves, this meet could get bigger and last for a long time.
