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.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.
