I read with interest both editorials regarding the beach ban on liquor. Both sides have a point. However, I would vote for a beach ban for the following reasons. The main one being small children play in the sand while their mothers watch their antics. There is nothing wrong with imbibing alcohol within limits. It is unfortunate that some people don’t know when to stop becoming inebriated and, in this state, throw beer cans and trash on the beach instead of into the trash barrels. They start fights, generally making a nuisance of themselves. It is disgusting and not conducive to others trying to enjoy the crashing waves ridden by surfers. Driving under the influence had little effect on the situation because it can be done anywhere — and regrettably is. One can split a bottle of wine with their husband or wife, sitting on the seawall and watching the sunset on the waves. It’s a beautiful sight.
