You are obviously doing what is legal and works in your area. That said, open fires haven't really been acceptable in camping for like 40 years. While alcohol is being consumed, sounds a bit like drinking and driving. There was an earlier time when firemaking and lean to type depredations of the countryside were accepted. They have been widely rejected for decades, though they are now back through "bushcraft". Of course they are a survival necessity or harmless in some areas, just not many.
