The ordinance bans the sale of about 40 beers and malt liquors that are often sold in 40-ounce quantities. Included is Bull Ice, Keystone Ice and King Cobra Malt, which typically sell for $2 to $3 for a 40-ounce container. Banned wines Gino's Premium Blend and MD 20/20, which sell for about $3 per bottle.

This is stupid it’ll only hurt the store owners. Meanwhile gangstas and drunks will just go next door to the next Chicagoland community.

I can certainly understand the concern of the Elgin commissioners- who wants to see aggressive drunks on the street bothering the people?
But the current disorderly ordinances should be sufficient to deal with the drunks- and those who wish to get blotto on these products in their homes shouldn’t be barred from doing so. This is still supposed to be America after all.
Besides, public drunks will just find pruno or another product to get snooted with.

Banning certain beers ,that people drink is picking on a certain group of people and this is happening in that wonderful liberal state.
What next prohibition?

Of course not, as no true collective of any size has brains. Some of us here in Illinois have brains, but when you multiply any number of brains by someone who has zero brains, the result is always zero.
