Alcohol Impact Areas a failing regulation model; is anyone surprised?

Central District News
makes clear what most of us already knew:
[A]t the end of 2006 the area for the ban was enlarged to include Capitol Hill, the University District, and most of the CD (the map was carefully drawn to include every convenience store in our neighborhood). And now, 18 months later, we've got the first report on how it's working: hardly at all.

The ban was placed on specific brands of drinks such as Night Train and Colt 45, and so the businesses have just gone and rebranded the same drinks to avoid the ban. And the alcoholics, not caring too much about brand loyalty, have made the switch.
In the P.I. piece CDN links to, reporter Angela Galloway notes that city officials call the ban "doomed without reforms to deal with market changes"...

...so does that mean I can have my Strawberry Cisco again?
