Disaster! The beach booze ban has passed. Shiraz at sunset? Red wine and some rays? Schmirnoff in the sand? It's over, all over! :(
A drive to permanently from San Diego city beaches and waterfront parks was passed, bringing an end to the long battle to force booze from local beaches. Proposition D will extend a one-year ban that has been in place since January. If it had failed, the temporary ban would have expired.
Jim Lantry, who worked to pass the measure, said he believes having a trial ban in place convinced people that permanent restrictions would benefit the city.
“Once people had the chance to see what alcohol-free beaches meant, they changed their minds,” Lantry said. “They said, 'I'd like to have a beer at the beach, but frankly it's not worth it.' ”
