Well, I'm just back from a night of bar hopping, so I guess the article isn't entirely inaccurate...
On Thanksgiving Eve is it okay to open one present? The kids keep bugging me to open them Wednesday night. Of course, they still get up early and open the rest of them from under the turkey.
It's not just the bar business that booms, we always had a lot of dinners in the restaurants, followed by the harder-core partiers in the bars because that's just something people do when they get together after not not having seen each other in a while.
What with the huge upsurge in travel this year, bar and restaurant owners are probably pretty happy with the haul. How happy the bartenders and waitresses are depends on the economy, particularly the price of fuel along the travel route.
