County Times is reporting that the "Historic St. Mary's City" folks want to have a Beer Fest. Actually, I am all for it. However, too many follks don't know how drink responsibility and that is where the problem is. It seems like every body and his uncle is issued a beer and wine license these days by the St. Mary's County Government. Then they wonder why they have a DWI problem. Fancy that! They will be hard pressed to deny St. Mary's City what they want. However, the cops will be overrun by the DWIs that will occur and thus, the increase of deaths from DWI will be a direct result. HSC is in the South part of the County where the County, and especially MSP rarely go. Can't pull any Deputies or Troppers out of LP City. They have to be there to try and control their problems, with their daily, 24 hr. domestic issues, DWIs, fights, thefts and so forth. The Green Door in Park Hall is a poster child for not allowing DWI, right? Or, is it factual that the officers are so tied up further north that they just don't see what is going on? You decide. I was there recently. Most folks do appear to drink responsibly, There were some that were completely out of it and somehow were still standing. Of course, we all know they made sure they had a designated driver.
