Over the last few years a number of ANCs and Wards — including a stretch of H Street NE, part of Logan Circle, and wards 4, 7 and 8 — have banned the sale of single cans and bottles of beer, citing their tendency to cause their drinkers to pee on sidewalks, litter, and generally make trouble.

Now the Examiner is reporting that Council members Jack Evans (D-Ward 2) and Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) would like to see bans on single alcohol sales imposed in their respective domains. Evans is looking to ban singles in Shaw, Thomas Circle, Logan Circle and part of Penn Quarter (that’s ANCs 2A2C and 2F), while Wells’ bill is for all of Ward 6.

Both Evans and Wells have included a provision that would allow stores to enter into voluntary agreements with their ANCs to continue the sales of single beers. This sort of provision, like the in place in Logan Circle that allows the Whole Foods on P Street to sell single craft beers without restriction, has caused cries of double standards along racial and class lines in the past.

If you live in a neighborhood where a singles ban has already been enacted, let us know if you think they’ve been effective in the comments. And if you live in Ward 6 or the affected parts of Ward 2, what do you think about this favorite D.C. Council tactic coming to your neck of the woods?
