I agree that Massholes should be limited to one or even zero drinks per hour while visiting NH. Especially in the winter.

Why don't they make it illegal to order a diet drink with a super-size fries at a fast food restaurant?

End of the bar business in NH.

I can just see bars issuing clocks on neck chains that light up and sirens go off every time an hour goes by... what a hoot!

You enter bar at 5pm. You order a beer. You finish beer 5:15. You know you're not getting another until at least 6pm. Hmmmm.... you have car keys and there's another Bar 2 minutes down the road.

5:20 You enter new bar. You order a beer. You finish beer 5:30. Driving makes you thirsty, you think. You know you're not getting another until at least 6:20pm. Hmmmm.... you have car keys and there's another Bar 2 minutes down the road.

5:35 You enter new bar. You order a beer... while waiting for your beer you remember this nudie bar only 2 minutes down the road...

Someone looking to make money by guaranteeing people drive more when they are drinking? Lawyers perhaps?

For an industry that wasn't killed off by smoking bans, here comes the coup de grâce.

I’d go in have a duoble shot and go hang out in the car drinking beer till my hour was up.

What morons. What about the bartenders who need their tips from all the booze the patrons buy?

I plan on joining the esoteric ranks of bartending to make cash and I do not like this. Brainless puritans and bored housewives with way too much time on their hand.

Hmmmm is right. I can walk to six bars. Let’s see...2 min. to 1st. Have a beer. 3 min. to next. Have a beer. 30 sec. to next. Beer. 1 min. to next. Beer. 30 sec. beer. 5 min. Beer. 2 min to home. Repeat. I can have my own little pub crawl every hour.

This is going to be life in Barack Obama's America.

Incessant nannying from do-gooders in government.

THat’s what I’d do. Only on a harley instead. Faster that way. You can park on the sidewalk right at the front door. Ignition off, to ignition on in under 10 minutes..
