Alcohol ban imposed for Georgia-Fla.

-

Officials are banning alcohol at a Georgia beach for the weekend of the Georgia-Florida football matchup, hoping to discourage big crowds amid a high rate of coronaviru­s infections.

Commission­ers in Glynn County voted 6-to-1 to prohibit possession or consumptio­n of booze on the beach at St. Simons Island on Oct. 29 and 30, news outlets reported.

The island has become a hotspot for Georgia Bulldog fans on their way to the big game in Jacksonvil­le, Florida, each fall, with residents derisively referring to the surfside crowds as “frat beach.”
