Edit: This thread amazes me with its revelation how weird america is. You aren´t allowed to drink beer in public over there?

I think that post was talking about the superiority of European sidewalk cafes.

America was founded by Puritans, we aren't supposed to have fun. But yes, we can drink outside in most cities; within the bounds of a bar or cafe. You aren't allowed to walk down the street with a beer, except for.......

New Orleans, which was well known for public drinking and debauchery.

That's why God destroyed it. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

How come God preserved the debauched parts of the city and destroyed Lakeview?

You can still walk in the French Quarter with your go cup as if nothing had ever happened.
