Open container law

The New York for New Years thread got me thinking....is this law the most backwards arse pathetic prohibition type shite we still have in tact? For a grown up to not be able to walk outside with a fricking beer in hand because that’s how it was 100 years ago is just retarded.
For once I can say, thank god I live in New Orleans.

I recently read the law as it pertains to vehicles. Found out that it applies to any partially consumed container of alcohol located anywhere in the vehicle. In other words, if you take half a fifth of bourbon to a party in your car, you can be ticketed. Pretty stupid.

If anything, it helps keep our communities free from empty beer bottles littering the streets.
That, and piss you off.

Prohibition is the only solution. So many people and families are destroyed by the demons of alcohol.

Yep. Prohibition worked out so well the first time.

I think the depression messed that good idea up.

I know you’re trolling but for our history-inept, prohibition began ten years before the Great Depression.

When I first moved to the NOLA area in the early 90s, there was no open container law for vehicles. You could drive around drinking a beer.

Right. The 20s were great and then came the depression and everybody wanted to drink their woes away. We needed another world war to sober people up again.

All I know is you don't walk around with an open beer in Gainesville FL.

Only if it’s in arms reach of the driver.
You won’t get in trouble if it in your trunk or in the back of your SUV.

Explaining Louisiana's open container law to people from other states is fun. Every small town has a couple of drive-through Daiquiri stores where you can buy daiquiri's by the cup. As long as you don't pierce the lid with the straw (or leave the paper on the top of the straw) you can drive with it without a problem.

Making people chug their drinks before leaving a bar seems like a great idea

Prohibition would be good if it brought back to Mob in stronger numbers to curtail crime. Bringing down major portions of the Mob led to the proliferation of rampant and uncontrolled crime. LEOs has know idea they were destroying the greatest asset they had. I bet they’d rethink k things 30-40 years later if they could see how things are now.

What’s really funny is when you grow up with it and then go somewhere that doesn’t have it. I worked with an architect that grew up in New Orleans and went to design school in Savanna which apparently you can also walk around with a beer.
He went to New York on a business trip and went to walk out of a bar with a beer and the bouncer freaked out on him.
“You can’t leave with that bottle.”
“Oh my bad, where’s your go cups.”
“What the hell is a go cup?”
“A cup to put my beer in so I don’t bring the glass bottle on the street?”
“Um, you can’t walk on the street with alcohol sir.”
“Oooohhhh. Why not?”

I argue about this here with rationale people who swear society will cease to exist if you could walk around with a drink. Every “progressive agenda” idea is embraced here yet they can’t shed their Puritan views on alcohol.
“People would be drunk on the streets!” is my favorite. Yes, we all know that you are sober once you leave the bar and only get DUIs because you are actively drinking.
These are the same people that decriminalized weed. I can’t walk my dog at night having a beer but half the other people walking their dog are smoking on the street. No matter your viewpoint on weed, my consumption of alcohol is less intrusive to others than someone smoking a joint.

Depends on your clothing choice. Orange and blue, and you're good to go.
