Councillors in Liverpool are considering proposals to restrict the number of city centre pubs and bars, reports the BBC.The number of licensed premises has risen from 498 in 2007 to 683 in 2011.
Merseyside Police has warned a further increase could "see a rise" in alcohol related crime and would have "a clear knock-on effect" for policing in other areas of the city.
Nick Small, Labour councillor for Liverpool Central, said the council could not afford to "do nothing".
The council's licensing and gambling committee is due to look at different options later that range from taking no action to restricting new licences in individual zones or across the whole of the city centre.
