That you can get away with drinking and driving? If all you’re doing is getting a buzz you’re safe. I’ve always heard that. It may be a thing of the past.

It's actually the official region sport.

MS has no open container. You can legally drink and drive. As long as you are not over the limit at the moment of being tested following being pulled over, you are good.

Deltaland says you can get away with a whole lot more than that down there.

Yes. It’s a cultural thing here to “mix a drink for the drive” if you’re going out to eat or something.

Largely because of the back roads here. You can get almost anywhere without hardly touching a highway

Not so sure about that, watched a dude smoke a lightpole after he had been drinking all day in Biloxi.

Yes, that’s one of the benefits the locals have had ever since Robert Johnson’s transaction with Beelzebub at the crossroads.

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

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.

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.
