Talk:Happy hour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Removed anon comment below from article:

I was recently told that nowadays business organizations have happy hour at work for customers. I am sure it is not related to drinking? I am guessing it refers to a break period where employees can get together and relax. Why do employees refer to that time as happy hour?

[edit] From my general idea...

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)

• I don't believe that "Happy Hour" is really used in this context outside of a localized slang term. The legitimate, and noteworthy, use of "Happy Hour" is the one described in the article.

The belief that "happy hour" is when drunk drivers are out driving is nothing but a propaganda claim from anti-alcohol activists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.169.189 (talk) 13:15, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
