Funny enough I worked with an old timer back in Charleston, SC which historically had no regulated last call. During his drinking years they passed a law requiring an 0200 closing time which, as he put it, was a terrible idea because it put all the drunks out on the street at the same time causing joint chaos. In his view having no official close meant folks naturally filtered out over time as they were sated. Seems any hard stop causes trouble?
- alexfoo 9mo agoSometimes you have to try stuff to find out the unintended consequences. Not everything can be analysed/foreseen/predicted. Hopefully they were able to see the negative effect, realise the mistake and reverse the decision.
- j45 9mo agoStopping serving at one hour didn’t have to mean closing at the same time.
- s1mplicissimus 9mo agoHow do you imagine this playing out? People don't get the alcohol they want anymore -> no more orders -> No more business -> Not worth it for the owner
- j45 9mo agoOh, nothing to imagine.. It’s already a reality in many places. Last call at 2, people filter out by 3, instead of being pushed outside instantly. Some sporting events don’t sell alcohol the last quarter, period, etc.
