You’ve heard of “Happy Hour” but how about “Happy Day?” All-day drink specials could become a reality in South Carolina.
A state House subcommittee on Wednesday approved legislation that would allow bars and restaurants to choose one day a week, except Sundays, for all-day specials on liquor drinks.
Currently, businesses can sell and advertise liquor drink specials – though not less than half-price – from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. only.
Breaking the law can be punished by at least three months in jail and a fine of at least $100.
The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Doug Smith, said the proposal would legalize what many businesses already do.
The proposal is up for debate next Tuesday by the state House Judiciary Committee.
