In a country where soccer is king and beer is ubiquitous, the decision to ban alcohol from World Cup stadiums is proving to be a controversial one. While some argue that the move will help to curb rowdy behavior and create a more family-friendly atmosphere, others say that it is an overreaction that will only serve to alienate fans.
