Happy Hour (a Definition)

(quotation of the #1 3A Method Driving School aka 3-hour drug & alcohol awareness course)

The setting of the happy hour is highly conducive to drinking. This is a social institution that originated in this country. The happy hour is a gathering in a bar, hotel lounge, or home that is promoted by a need for companionship and social pleasure and is usually attended by social, business, or professional groups. All of those drinking experiences, which occur after the day's work has ended and before the evening meal is eaten, are classified as happy hour drinking.

The GRA's main interest is to bring people together during our social events. We STRONGLY discourage driving after drinking. Furthermore, we stimulate an atmosphere were everybody is drinking what the person prefers best. To summarize: Happy Hour does not mean drink alcoholic beverages.
