    • I cannot beleive someone would actually come up with drive thru serving liquior drinks. Your compliment says its the drivers responsibility drinking while driving. I will tell you this and there are alot of others besides me warning you. If any drunk driver kills anyone in my family. I will sue the driver, the business that served liquior knowing they be drinking while driving and the f&^$% State! I will haul all 3 to court! And it can be done! All damn bars should be banned on demand also. Liquior is more dangerous and health hazard then the crack down on cigarettes. Liquior is a drug that has cost many lost lives and health failures. I seen your advertisement on tv news, there are alot of people complaining about allowing such business to serve drivers alcohol, businesses like this is aiding a crime. We will fight this!!

    • Here in East TX (Longview, TX - 45min East of Shreveport, LA) we have numerous drive-thru liquor stores, "beer barns", and also a Daiquiris Express. I've been complaining about this lunacy since I was an adolescent... Yet, it still remains and business is booming as ever.
      It's all class here in the South.

    • Yes, you to can drink and drive...the idea is that you can buy alcohol in a drinkable cup while going through a drive-through, meaning you are driving in your fucking vehicle...
      I am pretty liberal, but this entire concept is foolish...another reminder that we are in a country of foolishness...you can't wear baggy pants but you can get your drink on while driving (did you notice they put the drink in a plain cup)...

      People, we gotta make some changes...

    • LSA 32:300 located at http://www.legis.state.la.us/lss/lss.asp?doc=410591

      To determine open container, the container in question must located per the above law in the passenger area of the vehicle.

      ""Passenger area" means the area designed to seat the driver and passengers while the motor vehicle is in operation and any area that is readily accessible to the driver or a passenger while in their seating positions, including the glove compartment. It shall not mean a locked glove compartment or behind the last upright seat, or any area not normally occupied by the driver or a passenger in a motor vehicle that is not equipped with a trunk."

      You shouldn't even need to have a lawyer to point out that the bed of a pickup is not an area designed to seat passengers and so cannot be used to make you pay the whopping $50 fine.

    • Well here in the states, you can get a ticket or arrested for haveing a open container. If you are drinking and driving and get pulled over then you get a DWI no questions asked even if you are not over the limit, it is illigal to drink and drive in the state of La.

      heck you can get a ticket for open container if you have a empty beer can in the back of your truck if you have a sliding back window (basically if you get reach out the window and open your ice chest and get a beer or other drink then its in your reach)

      Laws are different in other states / countrys but i am only speaking for Louisiana here since i got to learn our laws

    • Drinking and driving is not illegal. It is only illegal to drive while impaired in some fashion.

      In fact, at least in Indiana, it doesn't even count as probably cause to pull someone over even the police see them actively drinking an alcoholic beverage.

      AFAIK, every state that has an open container law also requires there to be some level >0 on your BAC before they can ticket you. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to get your empty beer cans to the recycling center.

      People have a right to NOT be presumed guilty. It is not only possible but common, around here anyway, to drink a beer or two on the way home or on your way to a buddy's house.

      The simple act of drinking an alcoholic beverage does require one to be intoxicated, let alone too intoxicated to drive.

      I think it's great they can get away with this. It's about time that people are allowed to have fun without letting the minority of people (that do drive while intoxicated) screw it up for the rest of us.

    • Here in San Antonio they have one called beer and all. Bikinis and alcohol everywhere. It also had lots of goods you would see in a gas station. We only got a soda and some peanuts, we wanted the "experience" of BEAR AND ALL!

    • We actually have a couple in Houston, TX as well. Same sort of set-up except the drive-thru is covered - convenient for rain or shine pickups.

    • I can't believe that you didn't drink the drinks! Come on, you have to have to experience to know--the house daiquiri..it must be good.

      **But of course I don't condone you drinking them in the car.
