Increase the penalty on these two crimes and let the good people drink." Greg wrote on June 23, 2006 8:00 AM: "People are going to drink at the beach. If not at county parks, where there are trash cans and bathrooms,they will drink where there are no such facilities.'

Win-Win-Win. We drink beer,keep eye on overconsumption, parks make money.Howbout a10-50cent rebate if turn cup in to properlydisposeof? " AJ wrote on June 22, 2006 1:49 PM: 1. "I think the guys will still enjoy their beer after this law passes. Why? Because they will be sober enough to get ! away with it. If you are intoxicated, loudmouthed, bothering the neighbors, littering, or driving drunk, the police have a law to back them up. " Born & Raised Part 4 wrote on June 22, 2006 6:08 AM: "How about restricting the consumption of alcohol to a specific time period like LOAM to Midnight and no glass allowed at all regardless of the contents. The other laws on the books are available to handle the rest. E Maka'ala Kakou." Born & Raised Part 3 wrote on June 22, 2006 6:08 AM: "The bad eggs and the people opposed to drinking at beaches are in the minority, so why are we making a law to appease the minority. I agree that there should be some consistent method of control for law enforcement but a total ban is out of order." Born & Raised Part 2 wrote on June 22, 2006 6:07 AM: "So, why are we creating a law that restricts our freedom to gather peacefully with friends to have a good time? I thought glass was banned at the beaches in Hawai'i anyway ...so why is it being used as a point of order for this law." Born & Raised Part 1 wrote on June 22, 2006 6:07 AM: "I left the islands at 17 and have been serving in the military ever since to protect the freedoms we enjoy. When I go home on leave I don't hang at the beach and drink but I like the fact that I can when I want to. " derby125 wrote on June 22, 2006 5:05 AM: "This will require continual enforcement, there are many more important things to take care of. The ICE problems, spouse abuse problems, high murder rate problems.The people have been going "down the beach" forever to have a good time. Whets the next law 7 No dogs allowed at the beach?

DRINK AT HOME ITS MUCH SAFER FOR YOU AND OTHER'S! hllobilly wrote on June 21, 2006 10:21 AM: "good Idea to ban drinking in parks. lets not forget that it takes just a few idiots, mostly "da yung uns" that are messing things up for the rest of us.drink responsibly and clean up after is so simple to do." ! Kawika wrote on June 21, 2006 9:04 AM: "Maybe before they start trying to ban drinking, they should focus on another (bigger) problem at 4-mile... ice. " Puna Girl wrote on June 21, 2006 7:20 AM: "Bad behavior should be handled by the Police. They are not doing their job as is. It is typical to pass a law and think it will make things better. They don't know how or where to enforce the law now. Stop making excuses for the department elected officials. " Non Drinker wrote on June 20, 2006 3:02 PM: "If you ban drinking at the beach, I think some won't listen. Why go through the trouble. My husband drinks, and I drive. Simple as that."
