They didn't say anything about running a daily drink special. I am sure there loopholes to exploit.

The big beef was giving people 2 hours to drink cheaply. Advertise a cheap price all day for a particular beverage you aren't setting a timeline.

They basically just turned happy hour into happy day. Just create daily drink specials.

That could be seen as a huge backfire at least IMHO.

Having actually read the article (), those are 8 well-spend pounds.

I can't wait to read the responses that claim that this is a good thing.

They've been tackling happy hours around here, too. It's still allowed to sell discount drinks, but you cannot advertise it outside the pub.

Exactly. And to quote an expert whose name I don't remember, "If you want another French revolution, cut them the cigarettes and antidepressants."

It also applies here.

The licensing of the sale of alcohol has always been regulated by the government (like the license to drive a car). It would seem odd, to me, if the entity that controlled the licensing wasn't able to put conditions on it. FWIW.
