Arlington Heights officials are expected to decide next week whether to pursue steps to curb public drunkenness which could potentially cost liquor store retailers millions of dollars in lost sales.

Under consideration is a ban on sales of individual large cans of beer and similar single servings of alcoholic beverages at grocery and liquor stores.

Advocating for the ban are police, who say it would help address disorderly conduct, including fighting, theft and public urination -- especially in the village's downtown and near its two train stations.

Many of those creating the problems are homeless, police said, who are able to scrape together the $2 or so it takes to buy a single 24-ounce can of the ice-style beer, which has a higher alcohol content than conventional beer.

But a dozen liquor retailers told trustees at a meeting last month that the proposed ban would hurt their bottom line and they are proposing alternatives. Officials are expected to consider whether to pursue the ban on Monday.

It's not the guys who are going to buy single beers who are getting drunk. I would worry more about the guy walking out with a case under each arm.

In other words....... This guy.

LOL I believe that topic has been more than covered back in July

BTW, had to replace the starter motor and impeller in the boat, and this was after I replaced the ignition switch assembly myself.

So it was the ignition switch? Yeah, you need to replace the impellers every 5 years or so. You can go longer, but if they break before you change it you can burn up the entire lower unit. Much better to change a $20 part every 5 years.

What they fail to mention is the down town area is filled with bars. The main road next to the train line has about 6-7 bars on one strip. When it comes to people being drunk around there I think it has more to do with the bars. Than any store. I am trying to think of that area, and the only store is a high end wine store.

I am not necessarily disagreeing, but why do you think such a law would be unconstitutional?

As long as the people there vote on it and pass it, I have no problem with it. If the government trys to blanket the whole country or state with the law is when I have a problem with it. Let the localities decide for themselves.

Same thing with any other law. If the people of central California allow gay marriage than I don't have a problem with it. But if they try to blanket the state or the country with that same law is when I have a problem with it, no matter if I'm for it or against it.

Forcing people with different ideals to follow another's ideals is what is the problem.
