Ali, I understand your concerns, but the "drunks" that cause a disturbance are simply the minority. The people that just want to go out and have a good time greatly outweigh the people that are just chemically depended. This man has been in business for a very long time and has EARNED the benifit of the doubt from the city. He's not asking for a hand out or asking for special treatment. He's just asking for a chance. If they would just give him his license and take a wait and see approach, they could make everyone happy. If there are a lot of problems once he starts serving alcohol, then address it at that time. JUST GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE! He has definitely earned it.
