Ahh, you are so making me homesick! I miss the ability to walk around on a beautiful evening with a drink in my hand outside in the Quarter. I second you on the Bourbon/Frenchman rule, though, but I think it's more because of tourists than locals. I remember seeing college kids throwing beads up to women on Bourbon in…

Here are my suggestions: There is an awesome, affordable, quirky wine shop/restaurant called Bacchanal in the Bywater, where you buy a bottle(s) of wine in the shop, they uncork it for you and you take it to an amazing outdoor area where local musicians play and order gourmet, seasonal food to go with it. Kajuns and…

The problem is people exaggerate the correlation between "drunk" in public and "drinking" in public. Whether you drink on the street or at home/in a bar makes no difference to how drunk you are. In fact, permitting public consumption actually decreases binge drinking, because people are not forced to chug the…

That is what I was saying in group chat today and no one believed me! That site being down is a sign that the internet is going in the wrong direction. :/

Let's give Louisiana a hand for being the only state to stand up to Reagan and keep their drinking age 18. Sure it turned their roads to shit (he yanked federal highway funding) and they eventually had to go 21 anyway, but they deserve some goddamned kudos.

You can buy beer and wine at the grocery store in VA but liquor only at the state run ABC stores and they ONLY carry liquor. If you want mixers or snacks you have to go to the grocery store. Liquor laws are so strange!

My friend was visiting from the UK and he was blown away by open carry laws and drive through daiquiri stands- and whenever we tried to say something to him about slowing down with the drinking he would yell "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't hear over ALL THIS FREEDOM"

Don't hate on the empty pint glasses- 90% of my drinking glasses are from Bulldog pint night and there was probably just water in there. :)

Yes, when friends visit they always want to see it. Luckily we take them to a cool bar or two first, then walk them through the thick of it (Often on our way to Dreamie Weenies. Yuuummmmm.) and they get to see the horror of it for themselves. Not to mention, drinks are 900x cheaper anywhere else in the city!

If I had a dollar for every time I walked past a badly-parked car here in NOLA only to see a beer bottle and / or a glass pint glass in the front drink holders....

Did the "hackers" look something like this?

Ugh. Why is this even possible from the exposed user inputs? Even if you have the password you should need to enter it into a keypad that's behind a locked panel (or one that's plugged into a locked port).

YAAAASSSS to vinho verde. It has a lighter alcohol content so you can drink MORE.

I am obsessed with vinho verde. I discovered it about three years ago and so far it has been one of the (drinking) highlights of my early thirties. It's inexpensive AND delicious!

So long as you can "handle" it and its not affecting your work or life, I don't see a problem. However, I didn't start getting my awful hangovers until 30-31. That's when you really need a lifestyle change,.

They can make skirts hang more nicely but I have literally never heard that they are a requirement in order to be treated with basic decency.

I don't attract bugs either! I only attract musicians with trust issues.

Everyone looks better when they're standing next to mahhhble columns.
