Do not support
 

As a substance use disorder treatment provider, I do not support expansion of happy hour promotions.  Progress on decreasing alcohol related accidents have been made with the current restrictions in place.  Expansion would encourage increased consumption and likely erode progress made. Alcohol related health issues increased during the pandemic and continue to increase.  Taking action that would lead to an increase in these harms is not in the public interest.
