An hour could change a lot Presently the Champaign Liquor Advisory Commission is discussing extending bar hours until 2 a.m. No, you won't be able to drink until 2. For one thing, if the hours are extended, it could change a lot about what happens on the streets after the bars close.
Fights often break out, and people sometimes get hurt.
At the very least, extending bar hours is a nice thing for bar owners to do for their customers even though it's not required. It might also help keep the bar entry age at 19 by increasing the safety factor for patrons. It's only an extra hour, maybe a few extra glasses of pop and water and a lot less hassle for everyone. An extra hour doesn't necessarily mean that the bars will suffer a loss of income. Safer, happier patrons would appreciate the privilege of extra time from bar owners and employees.
