Ã? Liquor stores won’t be encouraging revelers in the Mifflin Street block party Saturday to hang Budweiser banners and Miller Lite beads from their porches and necks.
Store owners say this year they’re heeding an appeal from police to stop offering promotional items that city officials said encouraged drinking and added a decidedly commercial flavor to a traditionally anti- establishment party. In the past, students said a separate promotion for a brand of liquor even offered party-goers free bottles of the booze they wanted to popularize.
