Bill proposes no straw hole

Dave Cohen Reporting
Louisiana lawmakers will consider restrictions on drive-through daiquiri sales when they convene next month.

Senator Dan Claitor proposes legislation to make it illegal for drive-through daiquiri shops to copntinue to use lids that can be punctured by a straw.

"This bill simply says it can't be pre-perforated," he explained.

The Baton Rouge lawmaker wants to remove the straw hole to make it harder for drive-through daiquiri customers to put a straw in their drink while they drive to their destination.

Claitor says he filed this exact bill two years ago and it didn't get out of committee.

Probably some Federal requirement making them change it so they are doing the least they can. These are the folks that when told by the US Gov't they had to change their drinking age to 21 or lose highway funds, changed the drinking age. For a while in La, you could legaly buy Alcohol at the age of 18, but you could not drink it until you turned 21.
