Would a Foamer Promotion Fly Today?

I read about how the Houston Astros in the Late 1970's had a Foamer (Combination of Beer and Home Runs) Promotions to encourage people to get in the Astrodome. The liquor commissioners or the dram commissioners would have a time greenlighting such a promotion.

We would have problems selling such a promotion, because Open Container Laws would be more stringent amid other things, and that would be the rub. This year would be a That '70's Show Year in the Future and I would only imagine what problems would incur.

We would have more beer and liquor options than we would have in the 1970's and most times, even for Cab or Public Transit, you'd have to act well mannered. It would be like having to be focused on the road while riding on the School Bus.

It would not be one of the more infamous Beer Nights (10 Cent Beer Night, IE) and it was more financial and ingenious than some of the more impulsive promotions.
