Drinking While Driving

Anybody on here ever drink alcohol while driving?
Apparently six states have no laws making it illegal to operate a vehicle with an open container: West Virginia, Connecticut, Delaware, Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi. I think you just can't be over the BAC.
I just had just cracked a tallboy at a BYOB, and then the club kicked everyone out because they wanted to close down twenty minutes early. I did not want to pitch a good beer, so I put it in the cupholder and drove home sipping it along the way. This was not in one of the six above states. I was still very sober and nowhere near impaired, but if a cop pulled me over, I probably would have been fucked and lost my drivers license.
I think open containers in vehicles must be way more common than people think. I was volunteering on an Adopt A Highway project a while back, and there must've been thirty or forty beer cans or bottles every eighth of a mile on the shoulder and ditch. These obviously came from people tossing the beer containers out of their cars.
In Louisiana, there is a loophole where it is legal to transport daiquiris (slushies with alcohol) in your vehicle as long as you don't consume it or put a straw in it until you get home. Once I purchased a daiquiri from a place in Metairie that had a drive-thru. (Yes, they actually sold alcoholic Slurpees via a drive-thru if you did not want to go inside.) The temptation was too great and I started sucking it down while cruising down Esplanade Avenue. Oops.

I like beer and drinks, but I rarely get smashed. I know my limit and, cliche as it may be, if anything, I drive a little more carefully when I'm buzzed because I know I'm buzzed and definitely don't want to get pulled over.
So yeah, if I were in a state where it was legal, sure, a good, cold beer in the cupholder on a warm summer night would probably feel just as good as the AC.
That being said, I never have an open container in the car. I won’t even let a passenger drink in the car.
In fact, I once drove my Tesla into a crowd at a Phish concert after chugging a bottle of cheap gin while I was chugging Jim Beam! The remarkable part is that I had to have the control to override the self-driving feature in order to hit the unwashed idiots. Had any of you hairless apes been driving there would be more Phish fans in the world. But there are now fewer Phish fans because I have such control. You’re welcome!
ROAR!!!
Simple, sometimes I like cheap liquor. There was this time rickdugan and I were running the system and we started the evening by drinking Mad Dog from bottles in brown paper bags! The only problem is that the hairless ape hotties we thought we were picking up turned out to be transsexual zebras.
Those tranny zebras still gave good BBBJs. And I went wildebeest on them when we sobered up. Good times! ROAR!!!

I hardly drink. Worst ticket in my lifetime was a 4-point ticket for gazing at Google Maps while driving. Cop said that I was texting, but not so.
