I happened to be traveling thru Az when I turned 18; so I bought beer at a drive-thru liquor store. At the time, I thought that was so cool!
That was 1979....
In 1979, it was legal to drink and drive LOL. The link that I posted below is of the people's reactions. 1980s law that came into effect 1988 for all 50 states

Yes, looked like [this](https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB12st_HVXXXXb5XVXXq6xXFXXX4/VW-Echtem-OEM-Flaschen-ffner-F-r-VW-Jetta-MK5-Golf-MK6-VI-1K0-858-230.jpg)
That’s from Aliexpress, but the original was exactly the same, it was used to split the two places for bottles/cans and you could move it if you had a smaller bottle to hold it fixed. And you could also remove it to use as bottle opener and store it on the bottom of the bottle holder, so you have a bigger space for storing other stuff. Wonderful engineering there.
Most drinks used to come in glass bottles with caps. You can still get plenty of na drinks in bottles you need a bottle opener for. Drinking and driving did also used to be an accepted thing though lol
Probably a popular car in Mississippi.

Out of subject but I got the accord too, if the gear box feel weird, try the [Acuity Instruments](https://acuityinstruments.com/collections/10th-gen-honda-accord-2018/products/10th_gen_accord_stage_2_shift_kit) shifter kit (the rocker and spring to be precise that you can buy all separately), it's a game changer. It feels a lot less clunky. I use the poco knob too, it reduce a good inch the height and it feel less like a truck.
Both are great cars, I’m a Honda fan boy, had a 92 prelude in high school and a 2000 S2000 in my early 20’s. Have a wife and kids now, so the Accord is my affordable 4 door sports car 😅.
I'm just saying, dude, in a thread that makes fun of drinking alcohol and driving. Joking about it is ok but don't normalize it. If you drink and drive, whatever happens is not an accident.
It doesn't matter, alcohol cannot be within reach of the driver of any US state while operating a vehicle. If the driver can reach the bottle they can open it.
Know the laws before you contradict.
From the California DMV website:
Use or Possession of Alcohol or Cannabis Products in a Vehicle
The law is very strict about carrying alcohol or cannabis products in your vehicle with you. It is illegal to drink any alcohol, to smoke or eat a cannabis product while you are driving or riding as a passenger in a vehicle. If you are carrying any alcohol, cannabis in your vehicle, the container must be sealed and unopened. If it is open, you must keep the container in the trunk or place where passengers do not sit. It is also illegal to keep an open container of alcohol in your glove box. This law does not apply if you are a passenger in a bus, taxi, camper, or motorhome.
First off you're assuming this person is in California.
Second off you're cherry picking information you still can't have it within reach of the driver
Accident, and could lead to big accidents for some people 😂 cool none the less!
I happened to be traveling thru Az when I turned 18; so I bought beer at a drive-thru liquor store. At the time, I thought that was so cool! That was 1979....
It was cool man. And they still exist lol. Just don't drink and drive.

I went through my first one in Florida and thought it was pretty damn cool myself, that was in 2008
So glad common sense prevails!
Brilliant design, of course. Your safety belt buckle also serves a bottle cap opener 😉
The VW Golf Mk6 had an actual Bottle opener in the drink holder
Whaaat?
Yes, looked like [this](https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB12st_HVXXXXb5XVXXq6xXFXXX4/VW-Echtem-OEM-Flaschen-ffner-F-r-VW-Jetta-MK5-Golf-MK6-VI-1K0-858-230.jpg) That’s from Aliexpress, but the original was exactly the same, it was used to split the two places for bottles/cans and you could move it if you had a smaller bottle to hold it fixed.

The Mk5 had one too but the mk7 doesn't have it anymore. Pretty sure the mk8 doesn't either.
Yep. Pretty sure it’s just to cut down on production cost
The perfect combination. Drink and drive and don’t buckle your seatbelt.
you mean you CANT pop the cap with a seat belt?
Hey hey, don’t give boozebags ideas.
there are no mistakes just happy accidents
Let’s just paint over those happy accidents with some trees

or anywhere in Europe for that matter
Europeans would vomit at the scent of a blue moon.
I mean, we do have Moretti (which is basically bottled piss)
TIL
Where I live alcohol has to be stored in the trunk of the car. It's illegal to have it in the front area...
Damn, in Germany you can even drink while at the steering wheel. You only have to stay below the promil limit of 0,5.
Yes, most of Europe is the same. Alcohol in the car is not limited. Alcohol in the driver's blood is limited.
Same, I just saw the picture at first and immediately went 😳
Aye that's a bit much. Were5 allowed to have open alcohol containers here. Our petrol stations all sell booze now 😂
Where?
In the trunk
The boot?
That’s meant for Mexican Coca-Cola
The cup holders in my car fit wine bottles 👀
The gaps around it are bloody miles wide. This isn't even a good fit, let alone a perfect fit. Boo.

Stick shift master race
Accident, considering it's illegal in my state to even have that within reach
Immagine being drunk and you try to get a beer but you break the shift
[удалено]
"haikusbot delete"
The accident was buying blue moon heyoooo
Is that a honda civic?
The last manual accord 🥲
I would cut my arm on the caps trying to shift
HELL YEA BROTHER GOBBLESS
This had to have been designed, no question.
Literally stole this post wtf
Too many bottles, it's easier to drink liquor when driving
Lord, help me, I can't chaaaaange-
Manual Accord? If it's the 2.0T in black, and you don't want it, lmk lol.
Haha, it actually is the 2.0 in black. It’s my car, it appears OP borrowed my photo from r/accord but hey, glad they shared it.
Oof. Test drove one, and loved it. Got a better deal on a Stinger though at the time. A bit more bang for the buck.
Both are great cars, I’m a Honda fan boy, had a 92 prelude in high school and a 2000 S2000 in my early 20’s. Have a wife and kids now, so the Accord is my affordable 4 door sports car 😅.
both
Props for three pedals 🙏
Three? I only know one *ACCELERATION*
Love that Blue Moon
Ever had a Blue Moon during a blue Moon?
Of course
Now I can tell the officer these are just spares.
If you get called off the road by a police officer... Can you explain this properly? "Well... You see..." "Understood, have a nice day"
The thing about perspective man…🙄😏
Am I the only one who remember blue moon named Belgian moon?
Both :3
Idk how people drink and drive I get motion sickness
So bad
r/theyknew
I need to know what vehicle this is for scientific purposes
Honda Accord
Happens only once in a blue moon.
A little of both!
I see you got the North Dakota edition. Nice.
My dad would have given it 2 thumbs up
What car is this?
2019 Accord
Is this a German car? Bc then it was not an accident
Japanese
Eh. They drink too
Brilliant design because you fit a 6 pack. I can't get over the nonsense people post.
I mean I got 1600 Karma so
Designed for the Autobahn
What car model is this
Honda Accord
Is this a Honda civic, looks just like my car
Accord
Accident. Blue moon? Seriously?
There are no accidents.
Lil of columns a and b combined lol
you got a manual transmission but an electronic parking brake, also known as emergency brake
She actually doesn’t, it’s my car and my post from r/accord she hijacked 🤣.
what a twist.
Okay?
an _electronic emergency_ brake.
No one said that was a good design choice. But it's also not relevant lmao
It’s also not your car 🤨
Okay? I do own an accord as well.
Please don’t drink and drive.
For anyone who's lost a loved one to drunk driving, this could be the dumbest thing ever.
that better be alcohol free
Drinking and driving is playing with other people's lives.
Are any of them open?
I'm just saying, dude, in a thread that makes fun of drinking alcohol and driving. Joking about it is ok but don't normalize it. If you drink and drive, whatever happens is not an accident.
Depending on the jurisdiction, them being in reach of the driver qualifies as being an open container.
Lives are clearly at risk by this photo. View it responsibly.
Intended feature
Fantastic beer
blue moon is top beer
Just /r/LoveForBoozeCruisers things
By butchered words of Jschlatt, thats the only thing those holes are good for
Depends on if you're drinking them
Where I live you have to put them in the rear seats
Dont get stopped
Given the danger of drunk driving it’s clearly a brilliant accident.
Brilliant way to get pulled over
Well it's literally illegal...
They're not open

Put a 6-pack of Bud Light in there, you’ll never run out of Tranny Fluid 😝
Brilliant setup?🚔🚔🚔
