The annoying Today Show did a segment on how Happy Hour is becoming a thing of the past because people are drinking at home. Drinking at home seems way more unhappy than happy hour, especially if you're alone.
Happy Hour is hanging out with people you like and possibly meeting new people, getting half-priced drinks and appetizers, all served to you by a cute bartender, and all this before 8:00PM! That makes me way happy.
If you're having people over at home for drinks, well, that involves
1. going to the store to buy snacks and alcohol
2. dusting and/or vacuuming the living room and Clorox wiping the bathroom.
3. cleaning up
That's not happy at all.
GO TO HAPPY HOUR! You'll be glad you did.
P.S. Drink responsibly!
