The state Senate has passed a bill that would give Massachusetts cities and towns the right to decide whether to allow happy hour drink promotions at restaurants and bars. It still has several hurdles to get through — support from the House and from Gov. Charlie Baker — and isn’t the first attempt to overturn the nearly 40-year-old ban. But if it succeeds, Boston and other municipalities could make their own decisions about whether to allow two-for-one drinks and other similar specials during certain hours. In November 1984, Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to implement a happy hour ban. The Massachusetts law prohibits time-limited drink specials by dictating that pricing must be in effect for at least one week. Additionally, venues can’t give out free drinks, deliver more than two drinks to one person at a time, offer unlimited drinks for a fixed price during a set time (such as a “bottomless brunch”), deliver a pitcher to one person, or host games that involve drinking or award drinks as prizes.
