Since this inconveniences me I say it's high time to ban private establishments from selling alcohol. For the common good and all.
You do realize that smoking causes like 400,000+ deaths per year? Just a tad higher than the ~88,000 caused by alcohol. Also, there are many dry counties all over the country that ban alcohol (many in conservative Bible Belt states); yet people don't rant at the horrible injustice but just choose to drive to the next county to purchase alcohol. The amount of stupid in this thread is just baffling.

NOLA is supposed to be open-minded and laid back, not puritanical and statist.
I don't think the dry counties in the Bible Belt have much of a tourism industry or nightlife.

So what's the cutoff number? Do we need over 100,000 deaths to ban something? 200,000?

Why not just ban alcohol everywhere then?
