This has gotten out of control
 

Personally I think this all has gotten out of hand.  Any bar you go to there is going to be noise no matter what- its why people go out- to have fun.  We are spending money on alchol- which by the way is not cheap- and we expect to have a good time- listen to loud music and be able to have fun.  ABC has gotten reducioulous- in the last 2 weeks- they have come into the bars that I frequent and constantly harrass people- even the police are getting involved.  When people leave the bar they may be drunk and loud and they cannot help themselves. As long as they arent driving and get home safe they need to be left alone.  ABC needs to stick to what it is here for- to control alcoholic beverages- leave everything else alone so people can have fun everyonce and awhile.  I would really hate to see Virginia Beach go down the drain because of this- and I fear thats where its going. I know several people that no longer enjoy going out because of the harrassment issue.  Please just leave it alone.
