Ohio college towns where students tend to party a little too hearty are looking at ways to defray the costs of keeping them in check.
One idea is a four-cents-a-bottle beer tax to pay for safety-force overtime.
In Columbus, overtime to safety forces for last year's Ohio State-Michigan game topped half a million dollars.
A lawmaker from northeast Ohio is considering introducing a bill that would allow voters to decide whether they want the added tax.
Other options include an entertainment tax or higher fees for liquor licenses.
