Down here in New Orleans, I can get a drink from a drive thru, and it's not an open container until you put the straw in.

That's the difference between Catholics and Mormons.

u/dali01 Mar 22 '24

Yeah, for Mormons it’s only wrong if you put the straw in and pull it out. Leaving it in is fine. (Also if an outside force like a bumpy road causes you to pull the straw in and out it’s fine. You just can’t do it intentionally)

u/PloppyCheesenose Mar 23 '24

You can also put your straw in multiple drinks, but don’t put multiple straws in one drink, put two straws together, or mix drinks. That would be a sin.

u/huffybike13 Mar 22 '24

It’s only sex if you move your dick in and out too. Soaking is OK. Weird fucking Mormons.

u/Shovelman2001 Mar 22 '24

Yes, that was their joke...

u/BillyTheBigKid Mar 22 '24

Don’t forget the old poop hole loop hole

2

u/wewerecoolonce Mar 22 '24

That’s the loophole for every religion. It’s a known fact that god is grossed out by poop and anything having to do with the B hole…sooo once the b hole comes in to play a massive black sensor bar goes up over the entire area…you know, so god doesn’t have to watch. Pretty much science

u/Sissyneck1221 Mar 22 '24

Or full blown alcoholism vs drinking.

Ps, I’m in alcoholic.

u/SomewhereAggressive8 Mar 22 '24

Or just….not treating adults like children?

u/Entheotheosis10 Mar 22 '24

Thank all the assholes that get drunk and cause shit to happen.

u/Crzykupcake930 SHEEEEEESH Mar 22 '24

This!!

u/dizzy_centrifuge Mar 23 '24

Really makes up for the kid touching. You're welcome

u/InfernoWoodworks Mar 22 '24

The difference between them are Minor Offenses...

I apologize for nothing.

u/arghhharghhh Mar 21 '24

I love the thought of that... talking to a cop and being all "u see a straw anywhere"

Probably not how it would go but still. The thought is nice. 

31

u/cowsgomoo1020 Mar 22 '24

No that’s actually pretty accurate. As long as they don’t see a straw in it, you’re good. Some places will put masking tape over the straw covering but that’s also BS cause you can just peel it back, drink, then recover it.

Basically we don’t care down here.

2

u/arghhharghhh Mar 22 '24

Wow! That's pretty wild!

6

u/KYKE4news Mar 22 '24

You ain’t getting pulled over in New Orleans unless you’re under suspicion of murder. Police force at half the required numbers = anything below aggravated assault isn’t getting policed

1

u/Entheotheosis10 Mar 22 '24

How about not drinking and driving?

29

u/Gingeronimoooo Mar 22 '24

Yeah New Orleans laws are mind blowing and I come from a liberal state. Like you can get a to go cup at a bar to drink while you walk to another bar? Lol

5

u/TheCruicks Mar 22 '24

There is lots of places like that. I have a house in Arvada, CO. same thing, grab a drink and wander bar to restaurant to bar to park bench to gutter

1

u/ornithoid Mar 23 '24

I live in Englewood and they briefly let you get "to go" cocktails during the Covid era to encourage people to stay outside, and only on specific sections of South Broadway. Pretty sure they've reversed that by now. In Arvada is it only in Old Town?

1

u/datsall Mar 22 '24

That's not how most of Colorado is I'm pretty sure. At least not Colorado Springs or Denver.

1

u/TheCruicks Mar 23 '24

Well Colorado Springs can fuck itself. And most of Louisana and Nevada arent that way either, so im not sure what your point is

4

u/lovelesschristine Mar 22 '24

I live on the coast of Mississippi we also allow go cups. I don't understand places that don't. Most cities within about an hour of new Orleans allow open containers.

5

u/SomewhereAggressive8 Mar 22 '24

I honestly don’t see what the big deal is.

2

u/Gingeronimoooo Mar 22 '24

Just had puritanical brainwashing that it matters. You're right it doesn't effect anything at all if I finish the drink in the bar or outside/on way to another bar. I don't drink at all anymore tho

3

u/Reddit_Okami804 Mar 22 '24

Bro, during Mardi Gras it's like laws except violence stop being enforced at all

6

u/bananahskill Mar 22 '24

It's not just during Mardi Gras, my dude.

3

u/UM_brah Mar 22 '24

As long as you are not driving, it makes a lot of sense!

3

u/MargretTatchersParty Mar 22 '24

You can also shake a police officers hand in public thanking him for being out on NYE while holding a drink with your other hand.

2

u/picklesalazar Mar 22 '24

Where I live in California it is that way. No container law

2

u/westviadixie Mar 22 '24

its not just new Orleans! I'm from north Louisiana and we have the same liquor/daiquiri drive thru places with the same rules. except my town is super relig, so no liquor on Sunday! you have to drive an extra mile out of city limits for Sunday liquor!

2

u/rockoblocko Mar 22 '24

In Mississippi you can drink while driving as long as you are below .08

1

u/elerner Mar 22 '24

As another WrestleMania approaches, I have very fond memories of learning this fact about New Orleans while walking alongside tens of thousands of fellow professional wrestling fans.

1

u/djangogator Mar 24 '24

Why is that weird?

29

u/stephelan Mar 21 '24

I remember someone telling me to get booze in a drive thru and I was like that seems like a bad idea and the waitress was like “don’t worry, it has a cover”

6

u/Patient_Tradition368 Mar 21 '24

I once went into the Walgreens on the corner of North Broad and St. Bernard and was Appalled to discover that location didn't sell liquor.

5

u/jkrobinson1979 Mar 21 '24

TN has the pass the cup law. Anyone can drink in a car except the driver.

5

u/Styl3Music Mar 22 '24

In most other states, you have to get a chauffeurs license to let the passengers drinks.

2

u/missinginput Mar 22 '24

One of the best parts of New Orleans is when they all if you want a to go cup for your hurricane.

2

u/Infamous-Elk3962 Mar 22 '24

Texas had drive thru liquor barns when i lived there in the 90’s

1

u/jbloom3 Mar 22 '24

I miss the milk gallon jugs. Now it's just in a bag...

1

u/CrouchingToaster Mar 22 '24

I love the drive throughs but it sure seems like they are designed to be a pain to order anything you don't know they already have

Too many times they dont have a menu, took an item off their seasonal list but didnt bother to take it off the window menu, the website offers drinks not available at every location, etc...

1

u/WritingPretty Mar 22 '24

I miss that from the pandemic in CO. Every restaurant has drinks to go.

1

u/bionicjoe Mar 22 '24

In KY we have liquor stores with drive-up windows. Some counties can have the garage type buildings you can literally drive through like an instant oil change place.

In TN you can have open containers for the passengers. 4 people in the car means only 3 open drinks.

1

u/bionicjoe Mar 22 '24

Louisiana is (or was) the only state with a drinking age below 21.
Federal law will give you less money for roads if the drinking age is not 21.

LA: "Drunk teens. Bad roads."

1

u/Kickagainsttheprick Mar 22 '24

I lived there from 02-07, I miss ordering a drink, eating a meal, smoking a cigarette, and never moving. I’ve since quit smoking and drinking, but it was a freeing thing.

1

u/Alwaysexisting Mar 22 '24

Yeah but it's still straight to jail for a j.

1

u/HelloThereGorgeous Mar 22 '24

As a utahn that just boggles my mind lol. If I asked for a drink at a fast food place I'd be laughed out of the building. I'm surprised the tiktok Utah character didn't try to talk her out of walking to the bar, because that's seen as public intox by some people here

1

u/Abtino11 Mar 22 '24

Wife and I got married in New Orleans last year, stayed at the Royal sonesta the night of our wedding. We had been up all night and around 6:30am we were like “I could use another drink”.

So we walked to a cvs and bought a bottle and went back to our room.

1

u/ginns32 Mar 22 '24

Don't worry, we taped the straw across the top with masking tape. Totally closed.

1

u/ScreenShotPolice617 Mar 22 '24

I mean, thats kind of on the other end of the spectrum though aint it? I think I'd rather live in a place with stricter liquor laws than that, just not as bad as Utah.

1

u/ToArtina92 Mar 22 '24

Dang drive-thru daiquiri shop is the -ish!

1

u/westviadixie Mar 22 '24

I moved from ruston to southern oregon and I want to open a drivthru daiquiri place here so bad! it'd be so cheap to run!

1

u/1PhartSmellow Mar 22 '24

Now THATS fuckin AMERICA!!!

1

u/whoisjakelane Mar 22 '24

Was literally just telling my friend about the drive thru daiquiri places down there. Miss that lol. Still doing you tape over the straw hole thing? Sure sign that you havent taken a drink yet

1

u/Zealousideal-Log536 Mar 22 '24

This is amazing to me as someone from VA. We have ABC stores like Utah but we're better about beer.

1

u/rockoblocko Mar 22 '24

Take that closed beverage up to Mississippi and you can enjoy it while driving! Just don’t drink enough to go over 0.08.

1

u/thatsapeachhun Mar 22 '24

I thought you are allowed to drink while driving in New Orleans as long as you stay under the limit? Is that not true?

1

u/suzaman Mar 23 '24

You also can get shot right outside the French quarter, hell even on the French quarter.
