It is unlawful to offer discounted alcoholic drinks for just a few hours.

The Law

Happy hour drink specials are strictly prohibited statewide to discourage binge drinking immediately after work. Establishments must offer the exact same drink price for the entire day rather than a concentrated hour of cheap booze. Strangely, offering discounted food appetizers during those hours is perfectly fine.
