Beer Cut Off

The city has successfully strong armed bar owners around Wrigley Field to cut off beer sales during Cub's clinch games. The owner of Irish Oak sums it up well, "We are well capable of handling our own business. You say it's voluntarily, but, c'mon, it's a directive from the city."

As I pointed out before the whole point of this cannot be to curb drunkenness. At this point the deal even allows owners to resume alcohol sales if a game goes to extra innings. There's nothing here here except PR and Daley flexing his muscle against a group not in his favor.
