      Safety first! And it’s only forbidden on public place, you can drink alcohol at home, in a restaurant, etc.

      Just not in a public place because of the extreme heat… because you would put your health in danger + the public servants going to help you once you faint.

      Better to have them available for real heatwave related issues instead of alcohol related issues
