City Council panel backs alcohol plan A proposal to ban cheap, high-alcohol beer and wine in a large area of Seattle was endorsed Tuesday by a City Council panel. If the plan is approved by the full council, Seattle will petition the state Liquor Control Board to create "alcohol-impact areas" covering about six square miles, including downtown, Capitol Hill and the University District. In those areas, more than 30 fortified beers and wines, often favored by street alcoholics, would be banned under Mayor Greg Nickels' proposal. The council's Housing, Human Services and Health Committee voted 2-1 to endorse the plan Tuesday. Council members Tom Rasmussen and Jan Drago voted in favor of the proposal, which supporters say would encourage homeless alcoholics to disperse throughout the city or seek treatment instead of congregating in certain areas. Councilman Richard McIver voted against the proposal. The full council is expected to vote on the proposal Monday.
