I would preface my comments by saying that I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone, rather, these comments are based upon 25 years or so of observing how the legislation is proposed at General Assembly.
Further restrictions on alcohol may well be proposed, and they will be moved forward, quickly. Debate may be spirited, but the Resolution will ultimately pass. Resolutions are seldom proposed without a firm lock on the requisite number of votes needed to pass them. Not supporting the concept, but that's how it works.
Should it appear that draconian measures will be a non-starter, a 'feel good' resolution will be proposed to suggest to those who pushed the initial measure that we really tried to do something.
Cynical? Perhaps. There are multiple dynamics involved. It may be too much of my Berkeley Poli Sci nature coming out in this analysis, tempered by several years in the intel business at the Pentagon.
