I think if you had a good way of preventing public drunkeness then open liquor being allowed makes sense. But then post university I've never gotten a ticket and I'll drink beer pretty much anywhere. I've found no one bothers you if you are discreet and not drunk. (Even floating down the river)
I think limiting it to bar districts makes it worse you don't want people pre drinking in the parking lot outside the bar getting hammered. You do want to be able to drink a beer while shopping or walking through the zoo
