New Orleans and Houston Have Drive-Thru Daiquiri Bars

There are probably only a few activities that would be at the top of any list of things you shouldn't do while driving, and on which everyone would agree. We are all aware that texting while driving is dangerous, therefore avoid doing it. Of course, it is not a good idea to drive after drinking. In the United States, the first DUI arrest occurred in 1910, so we've been aware of this issue for a while.

Surprisingly, there are cities with drive-thru daiquiri establishments, despite the well-known dangers of drinking and driving. Drive-thru booze stores, which are commonplace, may be ridiculed, but they actually make a lot more sense. After all, closed liquor is sold in liquor stores. Furthermore, it isn't as though arriving by car, parking, and then entering a liquor store to purchase a bottle of vodka makes it more suitable than purchasing the same bottle through a drive-thru window. However, a daiquiri bar offers mixed frozen beverages.

Bars in New Orleans are permitted to serve daiquiris as long as the drink is frozen, the cup is sealed, and the straw is taped to the side of the cup for as long as it is in the car by bending some extremely shaky legal regulations. So it's essentially an honor system. They make you a drink, and you swear not to consume it while driving.

A Johannesburg pub established the restriction that customers can only purchase four beers and must first park their cars. As long as they were made with wine or beer and not any distilled alcohols like tequila or rum, thirsty drivers in Houston may buy both daiquiris and margaritas. If the container was going into an automobile, it had to be sealed, although sealed seems to mean "had a lid."
