drive thru liquor
Posted on 10/27/09 at 11:07 am

some friends of mine are thinking about starting a drive thru daiquiri shop. obviously there is much more liability with that type of bar as opposed to a regular walk in type bar.
i was wondering if anyone knows of what extra licenses, insurance, etc. that they would need.
thanks alot

I find them damn convenient. It is a pain to haul my kids inside a bar.

how is there more liability? other than drunks basically driving into the store instead of having to park.

well i would think that serving someone a drink while they are inside their car promotes drinking and driving more but you are right. its not that much different than someone getting their drink and walking back to their car and driving away.

if anything it might be less actual liability because the drunks leave the premises and are less likely to injure themselves while stumbling around.
key thing here is location. a place that is difficult to get inout of will die.

In Louisiana there is a law that says the bar is not responsible for damages caused by people after drinking in their bar- I don't know what its called, but in other states you can sue the bar and win, here if you sue the bar, your not gonna win.

Is this legal in BR? it seems like it would have already been done if so. I do love them though

Call me a spoil sport, but the idea of drive thru alcohol just sounds terrible. The societal cost is not worth the convenience. Is this worse than a bar? Yes, placing the alcohol in the vehicle is ridiculous.
People want freedom, but sometimes the losses to our common good are too much. The cost of drunken driving is horrific, ask anyone who has lost someone.

so do you must not have alcohol at your home. If so then where did you get it? From a store? If you did then you brought alcohol into a vehicle.
If saying that being able to buy alcohol without getting out of your car is what creates the risk for drunk driving then that is assuming only lazy people drink and drive. The twist off cap on a bottle of crown is just as easy to get into as poking a straw through a plastic lid.
The problem of DWIs comes down to irresponsible drivers not vendors. If you support making vendors responsible then you should supports a bill that causes anyone walking into a bar to forfeit their keys.

I am not sure what local regulations BR may have in place BUT you do not need any special permit from the state (and most local entities) to have a drive thru at your bar.

Unless you are driving 30+ minutes from the drive through to where you are going you aren't going to get above the legal limit anyway. Plus you are more likely to be going home or somewhere you can stay if you are picking up the alcohol form a store which is much safer than drinking at a bar for a few hours then trying to drive home.

None of it is safe whether it be a bar or drive through. Drinking at home, bar, friends house, drive through and driving is not right.
That said, the daiquiri shop by the Winn Dixie on Airline, Prairieville has a drive through. I do on occasion stop run by after cutting the grass and get the wife and I one then drive home and sit by the pool. I don't put the straw in the hole until I'm parked in the garage.

that's what she said
Yeah, that has become a lot easier to get in/out of since they connected that parking lot through Canes. We don't drink daiquiris in my house so it makes no difference to me if they allow it or not.

If you don't see the difference between buying a bottle from a store and placing a mixed drink in a cup, with a straw, in a vehicle, I'm sorry for you.
Not many people have Martini's self restraint.
I am well aware that my viewpoint is not very popular, particularly in a board like this, but once you get away from the rationalizing what you want, against what is better for all of us, maybe a little maturity will sneak in unnoticed.

whats the difference between a drive through daiquiri place and a walk in one like french quarter or daiquiri cafe? most people just buy one and walk out with it to their car.

Who still puts the straw in the drink? I dont think anyone can put the straw in the drink if handing it through the window. I know that was a problem before, but a lot of places have gone to putting tape on top of the hole now.
I understand your viewpoint, but I dont see how making someone walk 30 feet will somehow keep them from drinking and driving. If someone is willing to risk their life, as well as others, the method of getting alcohol into the car is irrelevant.

these places seem to do big time business in places like denham, PA, ascension, etc
