Talk:Happy hour

message: Isn't happy hour also a term used for when drunk drivers are prone to ride the roads at night?
Like.. in some areas.. at late night.
Usually beginning at 12 and ending at 3 30 to 4 00?
I mean, even if this isn't the correct term for this; it is at least slang. Changes, additional sections need to added. Happy hour, from my youth and experience with adult usage, generally refers to the period night where Drunk Drivers roam. As well as drunkards.
Thus, the term "happy" referring to drunken stupidity and "hour" referring to a period of day. Maybe it's just a local thing/misconception, but damn, I don't know.
Please clarify.
: I don't think that this type of disambiguation is noteworthy, and the article is fine as it is. Please write in paragraphs (I fixed it for you) and sign your postings on the Talk Page with four tildes (~). JesseRafe 02:37, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I really doubt that the origin of "Happy Hour" comes from the U.S. Navy.  I have an example of its possible usage from well before that timeframe.  In Henry V, attributed to William Shakespeare it is mentioned.
"Therefore, my lords, omit no happy hour/ That might give furth'rance to our expedition; For we have no thought in us but France,"   Henry V. Act 1, Scene 2.
I am not sure if Shakespeare is the origin, however I do believe that is proof that this term entered the lexicon well before the stated origin.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MikeTz13 (talk • contribs) 02:13, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Apparently we have an editor who objects to including Glasgow in the UK section, so I have separated it out. I don't think we should include the Home Office regulations in the proposed Scotland section, since the Home Office regulates the entire UK, not just Scotland. So I have reverted that part of the edit. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:52, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

message: The article describes happy hour as a marketing term, but doesn't discuss the business/marketing reason for happy hour. Someone who knows the reason and can find a source for it should consider adding a paragraph about it to the article. I assume restaurants are slow between the lunch and dinner rushes, and the ideas is to get some traffic during this slow time, but I'm not sure. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:21, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
