No matter how drunk you get and how scarce restrooms are, it's still illegal to take a leak on Bourbon Street:
"We don't have a bathroom,"
he said, seemingly incredulous that anyone would expect a drinks-to-go business to provide such an amenity.

The daiquiri shop is one of dozens of to-go operations squeezed into the roughly 100 square blocks in the French Quarter. The number of to-go shops swells during Carnival.

After a quick exchange of money for a plastic cup of beer or mixed drink, the term "to go" takes on a different, more urgent, meaning as thousands of customers find themselves in need of restrooms.
Come on. What would Mardi Gras be without the smell of beer soaked urine? No one goes down there with the expectation of doing push-ups on the rain/beer/urine soaked streets. Unless you're an Aggie, and yes, I actually saw this happen once.
