"you either demand they not go outside with their drinks or look the other way and risk getting cited for that violation."

People will call in violations of the smoking ban. They won't do that for someone standing outside with a drink. And they do it in the back of the bar in the alley way where they park their cars. So they are not visable from the main street in front of the bar. Far safer risk to take.
