I think it would be safer to drink a beer or two in your cart than it would to drink a few coffee's. I see more craziness from old codgers hopped up on caffeine than I do on alcohol. I also disagree with the statement "the majority of villages support the tickets". That may be correct at a church service, but not at the Town Squares. Drunk is one thing, enjoying a beer or a mixed drink is a totally different issue. I support the .08 rule, but don't tell me where I can consume up to that point. I believe that The Villages is a drinking friendly community and should stay that way. I also feel that drinking alcohol should not be looked at as a problem unless you abuse it no more than driving a car is a criminal act unless you become reckless. Drinking in public becomes an issue due to the self righteous views of non-drinkers.
Drink sensibly and enjoy.
