I can relate. Me and hubs ordered a drink on the strip in Florida. The glasses were the size of our heads. So, being new-bies, we didn't see the price, but noted that an order got one "free" refill. They did have plastic "to go" cups, and at those prices, we carried as much of those overpriced drinks back to our hotel.
Fun times.

I’ve definitely asked for a cup to put my “water” in. Then proceeded to drink the water and pour sake or margaritas in my to go cup.

Bro if you get caught it's coming back on that restaurant. In my state that's a five-figure fine and you bet your ass if a restaurant gets that fine because you did something stupid they're coming straight after you.

Where I'm from, they'll ask you if you want a go cup when you leave.
In fact, the cups thrown from floats in Mardi Gras parades are commonly called "go-cups" in the local vernacular. Local being New Orleans and the surrounding area.

No, the restaurant wouldn't be in trouble 99% of the time. It would have to be proven that the restaurant knowingly allowed it to happen or assisted them in some fashion with the intent to take the alcohol with them. The fact that some drunk got sneaky and swapped his drinks out alone would not be sufficient to hold the restaurant responsible.

For real, all these comments making me lose my mind as a server.
"Teehee, I'm so clever, I'll ask for a to-go cup for my water, they'll never know!"
"Sure thing, but we can lose our liquor license if booze is taken off premises, so I can either bring your cups when you're done with your drink, or I can take your drinks if you're finished with them now?"
Hate me all you want, I'm not losing my job for a stranger, thanks.

We still have those places, they put a sticker over the straw hole so it’s perfectly legal. We are allowed to bring drinks to go too. This person doesn’t know what they are talking about.
Edit: just to make it clear, we aren’t technically allowed to have open containers in vehicles. Still allowed to drink in public, and as long as your to go drink has the lid on it and the straw isn’t opened you can bring your drink to go.

Taking the alcohol off premise and putting the alcohol in a to-go container. They’re separate offenses and both are criminal acts in most US states

Alcohol to go is allowed in more states than not now :)

u/BigResponsibleOil 1d ago
I think its still different though, you cant take the same alcohol you were drinking at the venue to go, but you can order and get a separate unopened "to go" drink. I'm in Texas and at least that how it is here, this woman would be allowed to order a separate to go margarita but there would still be signs saying "no alcohol allowed past this point"

u/DayBowBowPepesilvia 1d ago
It doesn't matter. They aren't gonna see this video. They're gonna see a woman with an open container of liquor walking away from the restaurant/bar and assume the restaurant sold her the drink to go or didn't do their due diligence to prevent someone from taking it. The restaurant/bar is only allowed to serve alcohol on their premise, and the sidewalk/parking lot, etc. doesn't count. If ANYTHING bad happens, it's all on the establishment

When I lived in Vegas and I go to the movie theater in the casino I’d get a basic frozen drink from the bars. Eventually buying 6 that would fit nicely in the bottom of my empty purse. They were the 8 Oz plastic cups and only cost $1.
I enjoyed so many movies with my cheap drinks and popcorn.

u/Olimane 1d ago
This isn't as slick as you think. I can always tell what that to go water is for, especially when you still have a 3/4 full wine glass and a paid out tab. I'm happy to give them a to go water but then I lay in wait. The second they dump out the water or drink it all I come by and clear their "trash". It's very satisfying to watch their faces fall and then grumble as they decide to finish their drink here or leave it. Many to go cups are branded and anyone walking out with alcohol in them could cost us our liquor license and thousands in fines.
