This certainly does not explain having such laws in the vast areas of the US that doesn't have such a homeless problem. While I know there are homeless folks everywhere, it isn't such an issue to pass special drinking laws.
I think your drinking laws are more rooted in conservative Christianity and disdain for poor folks that might just drink up their welfare money somehow.
- porknubbins 5y agoI think it does because legal codes mostly do not evolve organically in every small town, they are just copied from elswehere, though enforcement which requires human discretion is more local of course.
- tekknik 5y agoThe only effect Christianity had on drinking laws was not allowing the sale on Sundays before noon, with some places not allowing sale at all on Sundays. Banning drinking in public has more to do with not wanting your public face to be a bunch of drunk people.
