Starting in August is a bit late to call it a summer experiment!

Public drunkenness should be illegal (fined). Having a drink outside shouldn’t be.

Seriously, everything is fine in other less puritanical countries that allow this.

I've been discreetly and tastefully drinking in parks since I was old enough to drive. I've never once been stopped by police because who would bother someone quietly drinking a can? I don't imagine this will change much in practice, but I'll be interested to see the policy in action.

Etobicoke central councilor Stephen Holyday wants "No Drinking" signs for parks in his ward. How long until they read:

No, Drinking!
