Apparently Mayor Adrian Fenty and the D.C. City Council listened to the complaints they received about the 5 a.m. inaugural alcohol cut-off time. It has just been announced that the new cut-off time will be 4 a.m. This may not be that big of a change but at least it is something. I am one who believes that alcohol should not be served so late when everyone at the bars will have to travel far and wide to get back to their hotel rooms. It seems like a recipe for disaster to me because there will probably not be enough police to stop drunk drivers. Also, i don't know how strcitly this rule will be enforced. With police officers being spread throughout the city, including all of those coming in from out of town, who is really going to go from bar to bar making sure they don't serve bibbers past 4 a.m.?
