Should bars stock non-alcoholic beer?
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - A prosecutor here thinks the state of Texas should require bars and restaurants to stock non-alcoholic beers and wines.
Texas leads the nation in drunk-driving related deaths, according to Cliff Herberg, assistant district attorney in Bexar County.
"Particularly in bars, drinking has a social component to it, people want to feel like part of the group," he told CNN.
He said if people are drinking things that smell and taste like beer or wine, they will stay sober and feel included in the fun.
Some bar owners counter that they don't want the governement getting more involved with their business.
Why would anybody actually drink that swill? How about just not having parking lots at bars? We have too many rules as it is. Forcing the bars to stock it, is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Gee...here's a novel idea....
What if we just expected everyone who goes to a bar have enough self discipline to stop after a couple of beers or drinks...and if you're intoxicated...DON"T DRIVE. Being a drunk in public is not cool, it's disgusting
Then, part 2
We aggressively prosecute everyone who drinks and drives. MASSIVE fines, seizure of their vehicle, take all their jewelry and empty their wallets...no jail time..let 'em sit at home.
Quit blaming the alcohol or the bar, start holding people accountable for their actions.Â
