This makes sense to me. The problem is not one of people getting drunk, but of a lot of people getting drunk in a small area all at the same time.
Even the bars probably agreed with this, as while they would make a lot of money, fast, they also have a much greater chance for fights, vandalism, and related problems.
hehe
The bars in a lot of locales remove all the furniture and glassware, so partiers stand around drinking from plastic cups. But at least there’s Irish music (usually).

Being a former practicing drunk, ‘we’ had a rule that the two days one didn’t ‘hit the old watering hole’ were St Patricks and New Years Eve.
Bad enough putting up with other drunks the other 363 (or 4) days/nights but “AMATEUR NIGHT” was just that.
Bunch of rookie drunk ‘wannabees’ clogging the bars and highways.
