Happy hour is a specially scheduled period of time — perhaps an hour or two in the late afternoon — during which some restaurants and bars give discounts for drinks, especially alcoholic drinks, thereby encouraging patrons to order more alcoholic drinks, and to drink them in that restaurant. It is also used strategically by venues in coordination with lock-in times to attract patrons to a venue at certain times.

Some patrons use this time to get drunk.

Glasgow has banned happy hour to reduce binge drinking.


Happy Hour is a comic strip featured in The Daily Targum, the student run newspaper of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ.

The one panel comic, written in punch line form, follows the misadventures of two friends, Jim Beam and Tom Collins, as they enjoy the local bar scene together. The comic focuses on the two main characters and is considered a social satire on pop culture, the bar scene and friendship.

The comic is created and written by Jim Kohl (artist) and Tommy Brennan (colorist). They can be contacted via the comic's website at the following web adress: Happy Hour Comic
