IT COULD BE the shot ban heard ‘round the state. Fed up with thousands of tiny booze bottles littering his district, and concerned about the public health impact of a product that seems tailor-made to feed alcohol addiction, Boston City Councilor Ricardo Arroyo is calling for a hearing to consider a ban on the sale of 'nips' in retail liquor stores in the city. Sale of the small 50- and 100-milliliter containers of hard liquor has long been a source of neighborhood ire in urban communities, where they are often the bottle of choice for homeless people and those drinking on street corners and in public parks.
