All the main town centre streets would be covered by new rules allowing police officers to seize alcohol from anyone outside licensed premises.
The proposal was approved by a Warwick District Council regulatory committee this week with the details to be ironed out by Warwick Town Council later this month.
Similar measures have been in place in Leamington since 2002 and the district council crime reduction team have been working on extending the restricted zones to other towns in the district for more than year.
Warwick District Council community safety manager, Peter Cutts, said: "This is not about stopping law-abiding people having a glass of wine in the park and it will not turn areas into no-drinking zones.
"It is about making areas safer and preventing the people who drive up trouble from doing it."
The proposal has received widespread support from Warwick residents, businesses and councillors.
The Zetland Inn owner Leah Keyworth said: "I think it is an absolutely brilliant idea. We tend not to get too much trouble in Church Street – most of that happens in the square – but you do find smashed bottles in bushes and on the street.
"People shouldn't be allowed to drink outside."
Refusal to comply with the order is an arrestable offence and carries a maximum £5,000 fine.
Police have backed the proposal.
Warwick Insp Richard Woodcock said: "It is not the great panacea but it will help us in tackling the problem of drinking on the streets.
"People in Warwick tend to listen to police warnings so talk of £5,000 fines being handed out is pie-in-the-sky.
"But it is another option, and having something like this in place could prove to be a helpful companion to the measures we have in place at the moment."
Crompton Street resident Greg Delong drinks in the town centre and has been a victim of an alcohol-related attack in Warwick.
He was beaten by two people armed with baseball bats.
He added: "It is a very good idea. Hopefully it will mean fewer incidents like that which happened to me."
At the district regulatory committee meeting Coun Michael Coker (Con, Ken Abbey) said: "It seems to me that this will benefit all the district's towns. It's something that most of our electorate would wish to see."
Voicing her support, chairman Coun Eithne Goode (Lib, Leam Manor) said: "Every person approached to date by police officers has complied with their requests."
The powers were originally introduced in Liverpool to reduce the number of assaults involving beer glasses and bottles.
Police admit this is not a particular problem in Warwick district, but insist the scheme has reduced less serious violence and the fear of crime in Leamington.
Funding of £6,000 for signs and advertisements will come from outside the district council's budget through the Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership.
The plans have gone out to consultation and notices will appear in the Courier asking for objections.
