Happy Hour
 

I find it strange that a business is not able to advertise their products price just because the product is alcohol. Happy hour is not a bad or unhealthy type of service, how people use alcohol is the issue with excessive drinking. As long as businesses are not encouraging excessive use of alcohol I think they have a right to not only advertise happy hour but the happy hour prices as well. This is also for the benefit of the consumer. We have a right to know and compare prices between businesses with ease.
