*TMZ is reporting that the people behind Lil Wayne’s “I Am Still Music” Tour are instituting a “zero-tolerance no-alcohol policy backstage.”

A tour rep told the website they are “committed to keeping a safe and professional atmosphere to ensure a smoothly running tour.”

Concert goers, however, will still be able to get their drink on. “There is no ban on alcohol served at the venues,” the rep says.

The policy is sure to help with the reported three year probation Weezy was ordered to follow after serving eight months, last year due to a gun case. Wayne is to “not consume or drink any substance containing alcohol,” according to TMZ.
