Well, just to shake things up a little. You can buy liquor, beer, or wine in the gas station (I actually used to buy my liquor at one because they had the best prices in the city) or grocery store. You can buy liquor, beer, or wine 24/7 365. You can drive through the daiquiri shop and buy drinks as long as you don't put the straw in. You can leave restaurants and bars with geaux cups. We may be screwed up in a lot of other ways but in NOLA you will never go thirsty
