Check out the latest idea from MLB.

Joe Torre, MLB to look at Boston Red Sox drinking; beer ban? - ESPN Boston

The key lines are:

There are 13 teams that allow alcohol in the clubhouse, including the Red Sox, the Globe reports. By considering a blanket ban on all clubhouses, Torre wants players to understand the consequences of their actions.

"If we do happen to bar alcohol from the clubhouses, you have to understand the intent of this thing and what it looks like," Torre said, according to the Globe. "We're up there and we're role models, or we should be role models for the youngsters and how they behave.

"Guys understand that if they want to do something, they're going to do something. They're grown-ups. It's something where we implement rules that we feel would be best for the game and who we're being watched by. We've got to look at it."
As with tobacco, MLB realizes that kids are watching and responsibility is an issue. This is not political, the boss is considering a workplace change. That's all.
