Boozin’ it up in Nebraska Parks..

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The new-in-2011 Nebraska policy allowing alcohol in most state parks apparently passed its first holiday weekend test.     Nebraska Game and Parks administrator Roger Kuhn says his agency’s officers and other law enforcement agencies didn’t report anything out of the ordinary over the Memorial Day weekend.  The policy approved last year ended a 15-year ban on drinking alcohol in state parks. It went into effect Jan. 1, allowing alcohol consumption in all state parks, state historical parks andstate recreation areas, except at Lake McConaughy in western Nebraska and state wildlife management areas.  Alcohol consumption is barred in designated swimming areas, on roads, in parking lots and in certain other marked areas. Containers of alcohol larger than a gallon are not allowed.
