Alcohol policy coordinator: Police can�t go it alone

Joel Plant doesn�t think taverns should have last calls, because they cause patrons who may already be intoxicated to rush the bar and then drink fast before they pour out into the street.

Plant, Madisonââ?¬â?¢s Alcohol Policy Coordinator for about a year, also believes municipalities should have a system that prevents an establishment from morphing from a restaurant into a bar by removing tables and creating ââ?¬Å?vertical drinking space,ââ?¬Â where patrons stand shoulder to shoulder.
