GREEN BAY, Wis. — Nanny Bloomberg’s battle against demon booze is even affecting his Super Bowl bet with the mayor of the Packers’ hometown.

In a fit of hooch hatred, Hizzoner has asked Green Bay Mayor James Schmitt to take bottles of ice wine out of their intercity pregame bet and replace the libations with harmless soft drinks.

“We have Frozen Tundra wine that we were going to put up, but the [Big Apple’s] mayor didn’t want alcohol in the bet,” Schmitt told The Post yesterday. “So we went with [Green Bay-made] Titletown root beer.”

The mayor’s vino veto comes just days after his administration floated a major alcohol-fighting plan that would have turned the clock back to the Prohibition era by limiting liquor sales and bars across the city.

Bloomberg backed off after The Post broke the sobering news.

City Hall also rejected Schmitt’s request that, in the event of a Green Bay victory, Bloomberg wear a Packer jersey and a foam cheesehead hat to a City Council meeting.

Mayoral spokesman Stu Loeser said Bloomberg balked on getting booze when the Giants emerge victorious because Schmitt’s offering is slated to go to a food pantry or homeless shelter.
