Alcohol Ban in Nebraska State Parks to be Lifted
NEBRASKA - Nebraska state park visitors can uncork a bottle of wine or open a case of beer next year.
Governor Dave Heineman will sign new rules allowing alcohol in Nebraska state parks, with one exception. Alcohol will still be banned at Lake McConaughy in Ogallala.
"Personal responsibility is crucial to maintaining a safe environment for patrons of our parks, and as Governor, it is a critical component to my decision making," says Heineman. "But I am approving these rules and regulations with the clear understanding that if there are repeated and significant violations, the Director of the Game and Parks Commission fully intends to use his authority to immediately rescind that individual state park's authorization for alcohol usage. Plain and simple, if park guests act irresponsibly, then patrons of that park will lose their privilege to consume alcohol in a responsible manner."
The Governor says the ban at Lake McConaughy is a reaction to opposition from many who weighed in on the issue.
The new rules will prohibit alcohol on roads in all state parks, pools and parking lots. No one can drink between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.. Containers holding more than one gallon of alcohol will also be prohibited. The Game and Parks Commission may also prohibit alcohol in any park area or state wildlife management area if there are appropriate warning signs.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission intends to have the new regulations in place by January 1.

Drunk driving can lead to other crimes. Too often, drunk driving inevitably leads to crimes like vehicular manslaughter. For those arrested for drunk driving in and of itself, many would say that it is a fairly 'victimless crime'. However, these same people are not realizing that, to some extent, the driver is a victim. Even if no one is hurt and no property damaged, drunk driving can cause the driver to lose more than they bargained for when they pick up their keys.

It is estimated that the federal government takes in 14 times more in taxes on distilled spirits than producers of the products earn making them. That does not include what states and localities additionally take in taxes on the same products.
