I haven't been yet this year,but if I recall correctly from last year your could only get beer/specialty drinks in the blinky cups i.e no hard liquor. I'm a vodka/cocktail person and whenever I ordered they told me I couldn't have it in the blinky,only in the regular plastic cups,and that was at several different places that had liquor including Chez Alcatraz,the bar at Lombards and a few of the carts. I gave up after night 2 and left the blinky at home lol! I did find it odd though,assuming it's to limit alcohol intake somehow?
