DC Single Container Beer Ban, Even-handed or Unfair

with 2 comments    Post to Twitter  Print This Post Print This Post

Several wards in Washington DC have finally decided to pass legislation that bans local stores from selling single containers of beer. This means that residents will not be able to walk into their local shop and purchase a bottle of beer – instead they’ll have to buy a multi-pack. Community leaders that support this ban are hoping to see a decline in curb-side drinking and a huge litter reduction. It should be noted that retailers can appeal and gain exception to the legislation if they have a good enough reason.

An interesting consideration, and huge contradiction: At present there is a bill in front of the DC Council that would make access to beer and wine a lot easier by allowing consumption at local corner stores and grocery markets.
