Alcohol has already caused a spike in Marion County's crime rate:

As I’ve posted previously, Marion County will have the pleasure of voting on making the county wet or keeping it dry.  The issue has the county in quite a stir.  After receiving several reports in recent weeks regarding the theft of political signs on the issue, the Marion County sheriff’s department set up surveillance over some “vote dry” signs.  In two separate incidences, the department arrested four individuals—two of which were minors.  

Oddly enough, the thieves only stole the “vote dry” signs.

So, if the two non-minors had been out drinking, maybe they wouldn't have been inclined to steal the signs?

I dunno. It seems like bored sobriety may be the culprit here.
