Whether people decide to drink despite laws is not the issue, since you can't force the stupid out of someone (but we can certainly at least try to enforce those laws). The real problem is the normalization of alcohol consumption in a public space, and I think it's just plain wrong.
Parks are a family space. Keep alcohol in bars or at home.
The harm has been studied extensively, so if it really were about health and safety, council would have voted differently.
