Thankfully I grew up and stopped doing that when I got married. With all the fentanyl these days it’s probably smart to avoid anyways

There’s a couple well known dealers all the farmers that like to party use. One was a black guy with a mobile car detailing service. He was married with kids, nice guy. He wasn’t thuggish at all

For a couple weeks I had the brilliant thought that it was fine to enjoy a cold beer or two on the drive home from work as long as I wasn’t over the limit. It was always traffic in a major city and as you may imagine I got some seriously hard looks as I was gulping away like it was legal.

Thank god I came back to reality before I got arrested

Not in Mississippi, but when I was a younger man I used to drink a 24oz beer on the way home from work every day. I mean probably for 15 years

Why is it called the Mississippi Delta when it's 350 miles from the actual Mississippi Delta?

I mean it's true in the sense that most
Of the delta is so rural you have to be a tee total dumbass to manage to get pulled over for being a drunk

As long as you are driving relatively fine there's barely any cops around to pull you over and the ones you do come across are usually too lazy to pull anyone over unless it's absolutely blatant

There’s also unwritten rules to not pull over farmers for speeding during harvest and MDOT won’t hardly ever pull over a catfish live haul truck to check the weight because they’re all over the weight limit and we successfully sued them years ago for holding trucks on the highway causing the fish to die and they had to pay for it. So they mostly leave us alone

That you can get away with drinking and driving


More like socially accepted as long as you aren’t too drunk and you are able to stay in your lane.

Like Deltaland said, I can get damn near anywhere I want to by only jumping a Hwy at a stop sign. Now, it might add a little longer of a drive, but who cares if you aren’t on a real schedule? I can stay out of the “city limits”, stick to gravel rds for hrs, and get to most any place. Arkansas is the same way and I just assumed most of the South is once you leave the larger cities.

The more hilly/mountainous parts of the south are different. They have back roads but not as easy to navigate them over long distances. The delta these roads stretch for dozens of miles and being super flat if there is a roadblock you’ll see the blue lights 10 miles before you get there so just turn off on a different back road

Hold ma beer and watch this was created in the South.


All kidding aside, please don’t drink and drive. You’re endangering yourself and many others. Call an Uber, a parent, a friend, or someone.

Heck, I’m sure the food folks of TD’s would even help out if needed. I know I would.

it's more of a historical term used to define the shared flood plain area of the Yazoo and Mississippi rivers.

Mississippi River delta is the lower 1/3 in Louisiana

Mississippi Delta is a cultural region of northwest Mississippi

Mississippi Embayment is the flat fertile farmland comprising the upper 2/3 alluvial plain from Mississippi, Arkansas to southern Illinois

Uber isn’t much of an option here. But I agree and in my younger years admit I was stupid driving many times when I shouldn’t have.

Today I keep it on back gravel roads going 10 mph. No harm there
