    I don’t believe this will kill it. Just make it more responsible.

    Young people “of age” can still enjoy adult beverages there as long as they have a DD and take their stuff back to the car. Others not of legal age can still go and have fun but will have to watch themselves like they do downtown.

    This is a good thing—SSI has gotten out of control in recent years. As Bulldog Jones said, it doesn’t really change anything; basically just don’t be an idiot and you’ll have nothing to worry about, whether you’re loaded or not.

      Except that, historically, telling a bunch of 19- and 20-year-olds “don’t be an idiot” doesn’t always register with them.

    I been told this one weekend carries many bars and businesses through the slow winter months. Will be curious to look at the down stream effects after a few years of this.

      As I recall in previous years the local C of C didn’t object heavily and disagreed with some who were pushing law enforcement for this. Not sure it will even last a few years.

      In my day, nondrinking Brothers were designated drivers on many excursions. If quite a few partiers (consisting of designated drivers) wore security uniforms and mingled while not drinking, then fun could be had by all. They could then snake all the women from the drunks. Win-win.

      The curtailing of this one weekend will have no negative monetary effect on the businesses of St Simons Island. The island is now, more or less, a year-round tourist destination. A little slower in the winter months but the restaurants and hotels are still open and operating. I used to work on the island during this weekend delivering food. On one occasion, while I was stopped at an intersection, a girl opened the door and got into my vehicle and before she passed out muttered the words “Beach Club”. I took her to the hotel where friendly officers helped her to her room. It can be a dangerous situation. This zero tolerance will be a good thing.

        Bluto’s right , psychotic but right what this situation absolutely calls for is a totally futile and meaningless gesture be done on somebodys part and we’re just the guys to do it.We could fight the Glynn Co Commissioners with conventional weapons but that could take years and cost thousands of lives. UGA students should start their own Occupy the King and Prince movement. Take over the hotel and use the pool for a bathtub. It’s walking distance and they can sober up on the lawn.I haven’t figured out the funding yet,I don’t think Soros is down with this type shit, but maybe a gofundme site might work. I could probably get a bunch of old drunken lawyers to attend and give bad to marginal legal advice. Will work for booze. Nobody brings ID and everybody is named Doug.
