Dangers Of Drive-thru Alcohol Joints In NOLA

Just because you can order alcohol at drive-thrus doesn't mean you should.

I was born in NOLA. I grew up there for a while before moving to North Carolina. It's known as a party town and it definitely lives up to its reputation.

1. It’s considered a closed container when there is no straw in it

First things first, how is that actually a thing? Can't drivers just peel the lid back and be sneaky about it? Or throw the straw on the side of the road if they suspect a cop is nearby? None of these ideas are mine, of course. Just concerns regarding the potential habits of others.

2. Easy access to alcohol

Pulling up to a drive-thru and ordering an alcoholic beverage? Sounds like easy living in the Big Easy to me.

3. Promotes drinking and driving (kinda)

With alcohol at your fingertips like a happy meal its easy to just grab your drink on the run. Not to be a buzzkill but this could cause some serious problems if people get drinks with a few shots in them.

4. Late hours

Pretty much from 11 am to 2 p.m. Daquiries are readily available at your beck and call and when nights run late it's easy to scoot to your nearest daiquiri joint and grab a pick me up...which can end up very dangerous if it gets out of hand. Everything in moderation and not behind the wheel.

5. You can get hard liquor in daiquiris

Daquiri drive-thrus ars are not like your local ABC store where it closes at nine p.m. Daquires are open later than you are awake on a weekday. The all-night access means a lot of drunk driving instead of only being able to get your hard liquor at a bar after hours- a good effort in safety precautions.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
