Salem's Spooky Season: Traffic, Crowds, and Witch Girlies

Salem, Massachusetts, known for its Halloween festivities, is facing a new problem with the proliferation of small alcohol bottles, or "nips," littering the city. While some residents and bar owners argue that banning nips would not solve the larger issue of litter, others support the ban due to concerns about underage drinking and the responsibility of bartenders. The movement to ban nips has been spreading across Massachusetts, with some towns implementing the ban and others proposing alternative solutions such as a deposit system. However, the effectiveness of such bans in reducing public health issues is still uncertain.
