Tubers pull a cooler along as they float the Comal River, Monday, Aug. 22, in New Braunfels, Texas. The New Braunfels City Council is to consider an ordinance banning beer cans and other disposable containers on the Comal River and the Guadalupe River, popular tubing waterways.

New Braunfels considers river beer ban

DFW in Dallas reports the bad news. Something tells me it could get ugly down there.

I've been going there since the middle 70's and have floated all the waters and have never thrown any beer cans or any other trash in the waters. We always carry a trash sack that will hold trash, but let the water go through it, As a tourist, I have spent a lot of money in New Braunfels. Instead of changing the law, fine the heck out of people not following the rules. Don't let a few bad people ruin it for the thousands of good people. The city will lose a heck of a lot of revenue. Just my thoughts. Thanks.

They will lose a lot of money and tourists if this happens.
