PORTSMOUTH — The state's top liquor law enforcer suggests a one-drink-per-hour law is a better way to revise state law than a bill supported by a group of local restaurant and bar owners and workers. The local group wants to add the phrase "knowingly serve" to the law concerning responsibility in serving alcohol to underage and intoxicated customers.  Edwards' proposal says that operators can serve one drink per hour, four at a sitting. One drink is defined as 1 ounce of spirits, 5 ounces of wine or 12 ounces of beer. "Here's the criteria — you can only consume so much alcohol," Edwards said. "If I give you four, five drinks an hour, you should know that this makes someone intoxicated."

1 drink an hour?   Umm is this guy fucking insane?   Never mind the fact that this would be impossible to enforce, but what’s the point of even going out if you can only get 1 drink every 60 minutes?   I literally had to reread this article like 20 times to see if I was something because it seems so outrageous, but I don’t think I am.  So much for the Live Free or Die state huh?   Seriously this may be the most preposterous piece of legislation I’ve ever heard in my life.    You might as well just blow up the entire nightlife industry if you’re going to start doing shit like this.    When will people learn?  There is nothing you can do to stop people from getting shitfaced.   It’s happened from the beginning of time in every country and every civilization on the planet.   Passing laws like this will only cause people to go to house parties and drink twice as much.
