Happy Hour Could Return Under New State ‘Fun Agenda’

State senators are pursuing a new “fun agenda” amendment package to loosen Massachusetts’s notorious alcohol laws. Inspired by the economic boom brought by the World Cup, Provincetown Senator Julian Cyr said the state has seen what is possible when it embraces new ideas to connect people, and that Massachusetts should be a place to gather and share experiences.

“The bars are packed, our people are out dancing, laughing, and reconnecting — and we’ve watched cultures from around the world descend on Massachusetts for one big party,” Cyr said in a statement. “If we can responsibly extend last call for the World Cup, surely we can trust adults to enjoy a discounted drink after work.”

Massachusetts barred ‘happy hour’ and similar drink specials in 1984, the first state in the country to do so. The ban followed the tragic death of 20-year-old Kathleen Barry of Weymouth. After winning a free round of pitchers at a Braintree bar, Barry fell off the top of a friend’s car and was dragged 50 feet, breaking her neck, arms, and legs. The Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission reported the driver had consumed at least seven beers.

Other “fun agenda” items include capping concert ticket resale prices at 110% of their original value, convening a working group to assess the feasibility of a future “Massachusetts Cup” international soccer tournament, and authorizing $5 million to support local farms through agritourism.
