happy hour ban

No cheap drinks

A happy hour ban is a law or regulation prohibiting bars and restaurants from offering discounted alcoholic drinks during designated periods.

Many U.S. states enacted such bans to reduce drunk driving and alcohol-related problems by eliminating the incentive to drink quickly before prices rise: Massachusetts has had a happy hour ban since 1984.
