Statesboro City Council received two versions of a draft of a new Alcoholic Beverages Ordinance from its attorney Tuesday night and released them to the public. Version A would prohibit people under 21 years old from entering an establishment that "by name, common usage, knowledge and/or understanding ... constitutes a bar, night club, lounge or similar business." Version B, labeled "More Permissive for Those Under 21 Years of Age," would not prohibit younger adults from entering bars and nightclubs outright.
