Margaritas to go

[Jammer]

It is based on the honor system and you will not start slugging it down before you get to your destination and the open container laws apply, if the state has one. Mississippi does not have one.

There are 11 states that do not have open container laws up to the federal specifications.

When I lived in Louisiana, the feds wanted the legal drinking age to be 21 across the board and Louisiana was 18. The state legislature commissioned a study as to which would cost the state more, losing the legal 18-20 year old drinkers or all of their Federal highway funding. They didn't reveal the findings but they did comply with the law.

Back in the day, if you were 17 and lived in AR, OK, TN, TX or MS, your destination for your 18th birthday was Louisiana. I grew up in AR, so Bossier City was mecca at 18.

I lived in Magnolia, AR during my HS days, and as it was 21 to buy alcohol and as it was in a dry county it was a no-brainer to drive to LA. The state line was only a few miles down the road. We got all the booze we needed and I was barely old enough to drive. We even got a drink for the road. Cops were always on the LA side of the road, but as long as you did your business in LA and went to strait to AR you were good.

FL just made getting to go cups of booze legal. I think it's a good thing. When our group heads to a Mexican restaurant we always get the 2 for 1 margaritas. It's good we're not forced to drink them before we head out. We can take it to go and drink them when we get home.

We have a place here called Eskimo Hut. They've got a great menu and sell all liquor, not jut wine based. You can for instance get a Pink Panty Dropper that's a mixture of Mai Tai, Pina Colada, and cream. If that's not enough for you feel free to add a Blue Hawaiian Jello shot that comes in a little plastic shooter right on top. Really bad day? You can also add what they call loaded gummies which are little CBD infused gummies that they sprinkle over the top of your cocktail. I'm not kidding. You can get all of this at the drive through packaged in a plastic bag. You can even order party packs of up to 12 drinks as long as it's done online.
