Looks like Indiana is getting happy hour back.

Article says senators tried to kill carry out drink options.

Indiana allowed carry out drinks during COVID to help businesses during lockdown.

Did you experience, or come across data that supports the claim that carry out will lead to increasing drunk driving?
How do you feel about carry out?
How do you feel about happy hour offerings and encouragement of more or just cheaper alcohol consumption?

Yeah, I don't really want to believe it amounts to much of a difference. I feel like there's way more responsible people than not. Those who are offenders seem to do so anyway.

Imported a long LLM response. It seems to think there was an increase during the last allowance, but I am more inclined to believe this was genuinely related to the pandemic. Maybe this time, we can get cleaner statistics and see how things go for a couple years.

Edit, I like to think I am one of those responsible ones. We walk down a pedestrian trail to the food area,.and it would be nice to take a drink to go while walking back.

I also take drinks in my car from the house, I just don't drink them until I get somewhere. And not drinking anytime soon, duh. 😀
