Call It “Anything But Happiness Hour” If You Insist; Just Give Me A Goddamn Drink

From across the pond:

The drinks industry has agreed to introduce a new code of conduct curbing cheap liquor promotions and happy hours, [Home Secretary] David Blunkett revealed yesterday.

The story is irritatingly non-specific as to what these curbs will consist of, but I fear the worst.

Ironic counterpoint: these remarks were made at the Local Government Association’s conference in Bournemouth, which event I once worked at as a steward and miscellaneous dogsbody. Unless the character of the event has changed, I very much suspect that the attendees are making the most of the cheap liquor promotions while they still have them.

(Speaking of conferences, I’m writing this from Utah, where I’m told the situation is even worse, happy-hour-wise. Scenery is gorgeous, though.)
