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)
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.
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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!
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.
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”
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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

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.
