First, Mayor Bloomberg went after smoking in public places. Then trans-fats, salt and sugary drinks.
Now Bloomberg known for sipping fine wine and downing a cold beer from time to time wants to crack down on alcohol sales to curb excessive drinking, according to a provocative planning document obtained by The Post.
The city Health Departments far-reaching Partnership for a Healthier New York City initiatives proposes to slash the number of establishments in the city that sell booze.
Community transformation grants provided under President Obamas health-care law would help bankroll the effort.

Golly, I wonder what other Transformation Grants there will be? Obamacare is just starting to be used!
This guy is a pint-sized NAZI. He is working in concert with that Bastard in the White House to impose “soft tyranny” on Americans..
How much LONGER will we tolerate people like this in office?
May ve see your papers, please?
The Puritans who want to limit ethanol consumption in beverages are the very ones who LOVE it as fuel in cars!
New York City people seem to love that crap.

UPDATED - He’s backing down ....for now
Maybe when they sober up, they’ll go looking for the tar and feathers.
lol. But I understand they’re ticked when ethanol rots out gas tanks and other stuff.
IOW, "We let this one out half cooked, just like all of our crazy proposals. But this time the public rebelled."
The liquor stores should start selling tar and feathers, just to make a point.
What’s wrong with what he wants? The people of New York wanted it too, just by voting him into office.
They got what they wanted, didn’t they? Now they cry and gnash their teeth.
Serves those liberal progressives right. It just warms my heart that I live in the partly free state of Texas.
That won't cut down on the drinking, but it will raise the value (and kickbacks given) for the liquor licenses.
I think New Jersey liquor sales just went up..
Blomberg is starting to look like the LA mayor in the movie Demolition Man (1993) where they gave tickets for cussing and had no salt at the restaurants.
When you look up “dickweed” in the dictionary you’ll see Bloomberg’s picture.
Bloomers is a Crony-capitalist, nebbish, poor little rich boy, self hating jew, tiny buttwipe of a man...the only reason he is probably not a fag (the jury is still out) is that he has the greatest aphrodisiac of all time, billions of dollars....he decries the 2nd amendment, but whines about how the enemys first amendment rights to worship are being usurped....even though Islam is NOT a religion but a murder cult.. © Vaquero 2012
At the very least, torches and pitchforks.
It could be worse. He could have stayed in Medford and become mayor instead of Mike McGlynn. He’d be run out of town if he clamped down on Giglio’s Liquor Store.
