Phew! Jeremy Hanson commented that there is not an effort to ban Happy Hour in Minneapolis. Folks, it's safe to order the boot full of beer. I'm surprised that an apparently bogus issue became such a story requiring such damage control. The Mayor's Communications Director is lurking in some pretty dark hallways to correct this runaway story. Good for him. Hopefully he's having the same conversation with Cam Gordon. Because Cam was much less clear about what was being discussed.
On a side note, I don't think it's a great idea to release 18 year olds out into the world with Manhattan's, but maybe the legislature ought to be studying the impact of allowing 19 and 20 year olds to drink beer. Undoubtedly DWI's would go up. But perhaps health related injuries, assaults and deaths from under the table underage drinking might go down. I'm not for or against right now, but I'd love to hear some arguments.
