With the holidays here and more people on the road the Michigan State Police (MSP) is looking to keep drivers and passengers safe through their travels.
Cities like Memphis, Omaha, and Kansas City have open container districts where patrons can travel from bar to bar with drinks. Should we have one in downtown GR?
MLive compiled a list of the bars in Michigan that buy and sell and lot of alcohol each year, and Detroit dominates the entire list. Not a surprise, since you probably have to drink a lot to be able to live in Detroit, haha! But last year, one Grand Rapids business not only shows up in the top 20, but is number two in the state in alcohol sales!
There are two things I've noticed about Grand Rapids since moving here. A lot of people like to exercise, and they also love to drink beer. It IS Beer City USA, so this makes sense. And now, there's a new fitness craze coming out of Germany, and working it's way across the world. And it needs to come to Grand Rapids.
Beer Yoga!
On Tuesday, the National Transportation Safety Board issued a new recommendation for the legal limit of blood alcohol content for drivers.
The NTSB recommended that all 50 states set the threshold at .05.
Some have come out in opposition to the proposed change.
Should the legal blood alcohol content for drivers be changed from .08 to .05?
