    That takes all the fun out of tubing but man something has to be done. There is just too much trash on the river.

    This. The entire town is left looking like a giant trashcan every weekend. If people could, you know, not be f***ing drunken slobs, this wouldn't happen.

    THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

    Does this just kill their economy? I don't know, but the taxpayer money that goes to clean up the rivers will be gone if their economy crumbles. There won't be any taxpayer money in the first place.

    Just put in a thermal jug. It keeps the alcohol colder.

    It's still legal to drink booze on the river - it's just not as convenient because of the ban against cans and bottles (an effort to keep the river clean).

    I think it's very understandable.

    No big deal. Non-disposable containers are still allowed. Just put your alcohol in those. Duh.

    This is actually a very good thing! I look forward to tubing the river without the feeling that I'm floating in a river of trash.

    Perhaps this video will convince you:
