It is definitely a thing here in Louisiana. Drinking in public or while driving is a proud tradition.
Take a trip to New Orleans for the extreme end of it, but we have drive-through Daiquiri shops all over and at least half of the people I grew up with have at least one DUI and I've never thought twice about being outside with a drink in my hand, as rarely as I do drink (I do refuse to drink and drive and am constantly lecturing others about it out here)
- smith7018 1y agoUnrelated to the conversation at hand but a strange fun fact is that it's actually legal to drink while driving in Mississippi and the Virgin Islands.
- multjoy 1y agoIn a lot of jurisdictions, the offence isn't drinking while driving, it's having a blood/breath alcohol level above a certain threshold.
