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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
