                One idea that I thought of for the final project relates to my hometown Sarasota, FL. A law in Florida is no one can purchase alcohol from 1a.m to 7a.m. Within the county of Sarasota it’s against the law to purchase alcohol until noon on a Sunday. The argument that I want to do for the final project would be that Sarasota county lowers the time from when a person is allowed to purchase alcohol on a Sunday. For this project the exigence or way of improving this law could be lowering the law to 7a.m so it matches the Florida law. Another way of improving this would be limiting the amount of alcohol a person would legally be allowed to purchase before noon. The reason for the law is so there aren’t any drunk people on a Sunday morning causing the city of Sarasota to look bad. By limiting this to being able to purchase a six pack of beer or a handle of liquor 500mL or less people wouldn’t be as likely to get drunk since they aren’t able to purchase high quantities of alcohol. The audience for the new law would apply to anyone 21 and over with intent to buy alcohol. Although this law could also apply to under 21 if that person had a fake ID, showing this law applies to anyone with intent on buying alcohol. The constraints on this law could be people over consuming the alcohol and abusing the lower restraints on the new law. If people consumed more alcohol in the morning and ending up causing more problems based on this, it may result in changing the law again as harder to acquire alcohol before noon.
