Every US State That Has Banned Happy Hour - Tasting Table
Briefly

Happy hour, a favorite social activity in the U.S., has significant legal restrictions in several states. Eight states have outright bans on happy hours due to concerns over excessive drinking. Other states have specific regulations on duration, pricing, and drink deals. Despite these limitations, happy hours serve as a crucial business strategy for bars, helping them draw customers during slower hours. Many chain restaurants also implement happy hour-style promotions, showcasing the widespread appeal and economic benefits of discounted drinks and appetizers.
Discount drinking en masse as quickly as possible can pose some drawbacks, which is why it's illegal for bars to hold happy hours in eight U.S. states.
Happy hour is a solid business move for bar owners and bartenders, protecting industry professionals' bottom lines by bringing in customers during the earlier, low-traffic dead hours.
