The New York Jets announced that it will not be selling beer at its last game of the year and probably the last game at Giants Stadium (why in this economy do we actually need to replace a relatively new stadium-how about low income housing? Sorry another story)
The fear here is that alcohol consumption lowers inhibitions and contributes to s lawless,violent,at risk, dangerous behaviors. There is no evidence that marijuana use contributes to violent behavior. Yet we continue to demonize marijuana and waste incredible resources in the arrest and probition of its use. The real demon is alcohol. The real threat as Jet management has realized that they have to manage the behavior of their customers due to alcohol use. This is once again the absurd influence of money over reason and ultimately public safety. I am glad that Jets managment is putting a small short term economic loss aside for the greater public good.
