re: Open container law

2 examples of New Orleanians used to go-cups getting around the law in other places:
1. In Seattle, wife and I had just finished eating a nice dinner; she wanted an Irish Coffee to take with her as we drove along the shoreline afterwards at sunset. We ordered one, they brought it to our table (in a big fru-fru glass) and we paid the bill. She went out to the car, and I took the coffee with me to the bar and asked for a Styrofoam cup so I could take "my coffee" with me. They gave me one, and I poured the Irish coffee in the Styrofoam cup. But then the barmaid caught me:
"Hey, wait, is that an IRISH Coffee?"
"Ummm... NO!"
And then I dashed out the door before they could stop me.
2. In Vancouver walking along the waterfront, on the way back to our hotel, wife wants a cocktail to drink as we walk. Wife sat on a park bench while I went into Starbucks, got a cheap medium coffee with a lid. Went into their bathroom and poured it out and rinsed cup. Put cup/lid in my jacket pocket.
Then went next door to a bar, bought a cocktail (served in a glass). Sat a bar for a minute and had a few small sips, then took it with me to bathroom. Poured it in the empty Starbucks cup, covered it with the lid, walked out fake "sipping my coffee". Wife got to consume her cocktail in a go-cup, and I got props for ingenuity.

My wife and her friend ordered some Long Islands and the waiter wouldn’t bring us to-go cups. So i ordered 2 water to-go. Poured them in the glades on the table then poured the Long Islands in the to-go cups.

It's pretty damn sad that you had to do all of that. Land of the free...
