alcohol-free zones
No-drinking permitted spaces
Alcohol-free zones are designated areas where drinking or possessing alcohol is prohibited, typically in public spaces like parks, beaches, or downtown districts.
Local governments establish these zones to reduce public intoxication, rowdy behavior, or underage drinking: The city council voted to make the waterfront an alcohol-free zone.
Signs usually mark the boundaries.
