Consume any alcoholic beverage.
(2) 
Have in his possession for the purposes of consumption in a public place, whether by himself or another, any open container containing an alcoholic beverage.

The possession of an open container in a public place shall be presumptive evidence that the same is intended for consumption in violation of this article.
