The one thing I look forward to is trips to Hilo to enjoy a cold one down at the beach with old friends and talk about good times. We remember old timers doing it and now we want to enjoy. " A mother wrote on June 16, 2006 11:02 AM: "There are not enough places in Hilo considered nice and open for our 21-25 year-olds to hang out at! This law would add to that restriction. Let them enjoy the beach and each other during the day over beer, and ban it at night!

I've never seen or heard of any problems with drinking at beach parks..."

They would rather not have "You" at the beach either. Can you imagine as you drive by and see "gangs" of locals? They must be scared to start with. Then add booze to the equation. Oh, no. They are running scared." Tony wrote on June 16, 2006 4:54 AM: "The Hawaii County Council is turning the Big Island into a "Police State." This should be voted on by the citizens. Such a law turn's citizens into criminals in space paid for by the Voters. I hope citizens will show Tuesday meeting to protest. Blame Ka'u" L-10 in LV wrote on June 15, 2006 11:03 PM: "Bad idea! Ban booze now, what next? Ban smoking in the outdoor public as well? This coming from a non smoker/non orinkei. Dont pass it, set regulabons such as time, but dont tell people what they cant do in a free country... or is it?" anonymous wrote on June 15, 2006 10:34 PM: "In case anybody didn't notice, there's an election coming up. Tough talk on enforcing laws is always a favorite election-time subject. But even if the council passes an outright ban, the "catch and release" mentality of the courts toward alcohol-related offenses will render any such law totally useless." anonymous wrote on June 15, 2006 8:53 PM: "I believe it is a great idea. Not many people recognize that drinking and Ice are the big causes of Incident and - especially in Puna side. We can relax in many others way, if you like the ocean go swimming or surfng,life is to precious" another girl born and raised on the hilo side wrote on June 15, 2006 8:41 PM: "Maybe there should be more done about the drinking done along the road ways but why at places where birthdays and different occasions are celebrated. There is just not enough pavillions to make it fair to everyone with a permit. Common there has to be another reasonable idea than that."

THIS NEEDS 2 B THOUGHT THROUGH BETTER!"

I have never stepped on a broken bottle, but almost on a broken pipe. Get real..." kalani wrote on June 15, 2006 5:14 PM: "Do we ban alcohol, and make the parks safe for EVERYONE to enjoy? Or do we let alcohol be consumed and HOPE nothing bad happens? And if something bad happens,pray the culprits get caught in the act? If it wasn't for some bad apples..." _ Teri wrote on June 15, 2006 2:54 PM: "Why punish everyone? Why do all the people from other places want to move here and make up all kinds of rules? They still have the probiem in other places, but the people move here to the islands and want to change it all. I don't understand???" IGGY IGNACIO wrote on June 15, 2006 2:33 PM: "WHAT NEXT??.. MOST OF THE GUYS I KNOW OF DRINK PEACEFULLY AND PLAY MUSIC... NOW ITS THE BARS/PUPU/JUKEBOXES... NO MORE ROLLING WAVES AND FRESH AIR... I GO HOME HILO, EACH YEAR FOR THE PURPOSE OF RELAXING..."
