You can continue to drink in public in Stevens Point.
The city council yesterday agreed to make Stevens Point’s public drinking exemption permanent. The law allows people to take a drink down Main Street and in city parks. Mayor Mike Wiza says the idea started as a way to allow bars and restaurants to serve people during the coronavirus lockdowns that limited seating and service inside. Wiza says Main Street businesses like that customers can take their drinks to go.
The mayor says people will be allowed to take drinks with them, as long as there are no problems.
