Not that we haven't discussed this before but San Diego is working out their "I don't like people drinking" issues on a very public scale. The LA times has even picked up on the story.
Virtually alone among Southern California cities, San Diego allows the consumption of beer and spirits on most of its beaches.But a booze-fueled Labor Day brawl at Pacific Beach has led to a call for San Diego to ban beach drinking altogether.
Now that San Diego can start getting "back to normal" after the fires, anticipation is looming about the "will we allow people to party on our beaches or will they have to keep the partying to stumbling around outside of bars?" debate.
Faulconer wants a total ban on alcohol on Mission, Pacific and Ocean beaches, as well as on the beaches of La Jolla, some of which already have a ban in place. Together, the beaches draw more than 24 million visitors a year.Mayor Jerry Sanders prefers a ban only on certain holidays. His proposal would also include nearby parks to keep drinkers from simply moving inland.
Visit here if you're interested in learning more about why you should be able to drink on the beach where they say "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." I don't know about all that, but I like my beaches nice and full of cute guys playing horseshoes, drinking beer.
Why don't we just outlaw fighting and being stupid on the beach? Oh wait, that's already a law? And people still fight and act stupid on the beach? Hmmm....
