For real. It was an annual tradition I had, and it absolutely made the flower show more worthwhile.

The info booth I asked just straight up said it was because "too many drunks cause too many problems." Still, they could of limited the size to make people less inebriated afterward. I wouldn't be surprised if Aramark was lobbying for the demise to increase their sales.

Without the booze, it ‘s not the same. I always saw the flowers first then did the wine and spirits afterwards.
