Miami Beach may soon let you legally sip a cocktail on the sand. The city commission just approved a one-year pilot program allowing alcohol sales at two popular beach zones...behind Lummus Park and the 21st Street beachfront.
The Boucher Brothers, who already run beach chair rentals, will operate the drink stands. But not everyone’s raising a glass. Commissioner Alex Fernandez opposed the move, citing safety and cleanliness concerns. Others, like Commissioner Joe Magazine, argue regulated sales could curb the shady backpack margarita scene that’s led to over 150 vending related arrests last year.
Sound like a good idea to you?
