Court upholds effort to ban alcohol at strip clubs
Associated Press – February 16, 2010 3:24 PM ET
ATLANTA (AP) – A federal appeals court has upheld an ordinance banning the sale, possession and consumption of alcohol at adult entertainment establishments in Fulton County.
Strip club owners had filed a federal lawsuit that contended the 2001 ordinance infringed on their free speech rights.
A federal judge agreed, striking down the ordinance as unconstitutional.
But on Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal unanimously reversed that decision.
Judge Stanley Marcus wrote that the county showed ample proof of the negative secondary effects of alcohol and live nude dancing in the community.
