New York City Mulling Ban on Happy Hour Apr 30th 2012, 03:01 Happy hour in New York City could end if Department of Health policy party-poopers go ahead with a proposal to outlaw beer and booze specials at bars and restaurants, sources told The Post.  "It's absolutely been discussed," confirmed a department source. "It goes to show you the spirit with which they operate. Everyone is a child."  High-level conversations have gone beyond merely "throwing pencils on the ceiling and seeing what sticks," another Health source revealed.  Sources said the happy-hour ban is being pushed by the agency's marathon-running boss, Commissioner Thomas Farley, and is serious enough for one source to say the alcohol lobby had better find itself a good lawyer.  Agency spokesman Sam Miller denied existing "plans to pursue any policy around discount-alcohol sale."  But sources said the anti-booze sentiment at the agency has reached a fever pitch, with officials recently asking state officials about the "legality of liquor in ice cream," referring to potent products infused with bourbon, rum and tequila.  Click here to continue reading at The New York Post.
