First of all, I love San Diego, and love the ability to drink beer on the beach. However, it looks like the city will try to start banning beer after this weekend.

I thought beer was already banned on all SD beaches?

 

hmm... not what I saw last summer, when I was there. And in the vid the councilor was talking about banning beer on the beach.

 

They've been talking about banning drinking on the beach since I moved here earlier this year, but I think it's mostly lip service at this point. From what I've deduced, several years ago they legalized it on the beaches to localize the drinking rather than have the debauchery spill out into the streets and neighborhoods.

I have to admit, the beaches are pretty damn clean considering how much partying they endure. For the most part, people respect the no glass and no smoking policies. The former being one that is regulated largely by other beachgoers.
