Last time I was at a dry county, we just had to drive 5 min more across the county line. It's rather silly. It's not like I'm not gonna drink because there are assholes living in my town.
Do-gooders - I wish for them a loooong life filled with righteous indignation and misery as they watch the rest of us enjoy our lives to the fullest
Trying to limit drinking in New Orleans would be like trying to remove the stank from a hunk of shit. Not a chance in hell it will pass. It's the lifeblood of their tourist trade.
Last time I was there, I had a blast. I was ripped to the tits by 10am while checking out some voodoo priestess' grave. But I never was a big drinker, so drunken reveries were something enjoyed only occasionally. I was more interested in the food, history, and culture, and New Orleans had all three in spades. I can't wait to visit again.
I can understand why some people would want to limit this. Drunks are constant sources of fighting and drama and noise. But this ain't gonna work.

The Parker House is a great old hotel with lots of history: Ho Chi Minh was a busboy there and John Wilkes Booth stayed there a couple of nights before the assassination, going around the corner to a pistol shooting gallery to practice his shot. The bar at the hotel is still called the "Last Hurrah" after the famous novel based on Boston's most colorful mayor James Michael Curley, sometimes known as the rascal king. It remains a great place to have a drink, think about what was and look out the window. Of course the hotel is famous for Parker House rolls and Boston Cream Pie. The Littlest Bar was also a great place and it was indeed little.
The do-gooders won’t be happy until everyone is uniformly unhappy.
Yes i did an 18yr stint in boston and worked at a few hotels when i was younger, Marriott Long Wharf, Boston Harbor, The Charles and the Parker House. Worked room service and loss prevention depending on which hotel, met a lot of famous people and a few good stories, then i went in a different career direction lol well joining the army but that got old after 4 yrs lol
The best parker house stories were all about Marvelous Marvin Hagler hanging out in the bar and picking up stewardesses 2 and 3 at a time .. he was a legend there.
The term "do-gooder" assumes the motivations of such people. Personally I do not automatically ascribe benign or "good" motives. I'm sure it's true for some of them, but they are just the useful idiots.
The true intentions and goals for most such things are very different from the reasons stated publicly...and usually do not originate with those who are advocating for them at the ground level.

All under the guise of the common good.
Selfish wealthy authoritarians.
They warned about the safety Nazi's and as time has gone by those chickens have come home to roost.
Have you seen the shit they are talking about at the G3 summit?
Freedom is officially an endangered species if these pricks have there way.

Not sure why you refer to them as “dogooders.” Generally speaking, I’d say it’s a good thing to do good. I don’t see how these actions are inherently “good” in any way.Here in Acadian dogooders want to end liquor sales by 11clock, Mardi Grais was a way to celebrate before Lent, 40 days of penance , as if that wasn’t enough, the dogooders want to crush us, God save us from the Dogooders.
