New Yorkers have a new reason to shed a tear in their beer: happy hour may soon be banned in the city, a Department of Health source told The New York Post. "It’s absolutely been discussed," the source said, referring to a proposal on the table to ban discounted drinks at bars and restaurants.
Agency spokesman Sam Miller denied existing "plans to pursue any policy around discount-alcohol sale," according to the Post, but in his "Take Care New York 2012" report, Commissioner Thomas Farley said he aimed to "reduce risky alcohol use." The document reads: "DOH will advocate for policies that reduce access to alcohol by adolescents and for limits on sales practices in communities and campuses that promote drinking among adolescents and heavy drinking among adults."
In fact, if this plans goes through, New York City wouldn't be alone: 19 states currently prohibit happy hour. But we're definitely not the only ones who appreciate a discounted beverage after work... are we? What do you think about the potential happy hour ban in New York?

1. It will upset you greatly.
2. It will prove you wrong.
And if you are so concerned about the court cost on tax payers, then talk to your son about not wasting tax payer money again.
Something tells me that if it were ever a child of yours, who was the victim of a drunk driver, you would not defend drinking, as you do.
However, it is true that anyone who drinks is a potential murderer, because he/she could get behind the wheel of a car and kill someone. --It only takes one drink to impair a person's judgement, which can cause the person to get behind the wheel of a car. The time to think about not drinking and driving is before a person takes a first drink. And the right choice, in order to not risk drinking and driving, is to not take that first drink. The minute a person takes a first drink, he is risking lives of others, if a car is anywhere around that he could get in.
:o)
1) This year, 10,839 people will die in drunk-driving crashes - one every 50 minutes.
2) MADD serves a victim or survivor of drunk driving every nine minutes.
3) One in three will be involved in an alcohol-related crash in their lifetime.
4) Every minute, one person is injured from an alcohol-related crash.
And yes I had close friends and loved ones die by means of alcohol I don't think it should be banned though hust people need to be responsible
You are clearly very upset that I am against drinking. Perhaps you need to take a look at your own life and ask yourself "why?" Seriously, have you really lived your life up to this point, believing that no one is against drinking? Don't get so upset. If you really believe that you are doing nothing wrong, then forget about what I am saying and drink up.
2nd I'm pretty sure it was alcoholic wine but anyways j don't have a problem with your views simply the fact you think the government being the enforcer of it they are worse than a hungry lion they will never be satisfied never they will want to bann trans at every where then salt then guns and freedom of speech and then what?
I don't like drukardness any more that you but I believe it up to the person to make that choice yesterday I bought a six pack and I had one beer out of it one and it was by choice
And considering that it only takes one drink to impair a person's judgement, causing him to drink another and another and another, it is a pretty foolish thing to do, drinking.
And it should not be your choice to do that which could kill another person on the road, if while your judgement is impaired you get behind the wheel of a car.
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
Now if the wine wasnt alcohol why would it matter when the people drank it
Drinking is not the problem it's getting drunk l, it's like money having money isn't bad it's the love of money that is
the other night I had one beer at a friends house to which we goofed of and watched a movie now what was different about what I did then and a time I didn't drink...nothing
Nowhere does that say the wine was alcoholic.
