Time To Reinstate Happy Hour? Former Massachusetts Governor Mike Dukakis Says No

A new poll shows support for restoring happy hour is high in Massachusetts, but the governor who outlawed it 37 years ago is urging people to reconsider their support.
A poll released by MassINC Polling Group this week showed that 70 percent of Massachusetts residents would support restoring happy hour in Massachusetts. It's a policy that allows bars and restaurants to offer discounted alcoholic beverages for a certain timeframe during the day as well as allowing them to offer free drinks. Only 20 percent of poll respondents opposed the idea.
