A coalition of New York business groups is taking aim at what they call outdated and restrictive liquor laws in the state. The campaign, which has drawn comparisons to the Prohibition era, seeks to overhaul the state's alcohol regulations and allow bars and restaurants to serve drinks more freely. Currently, New York has some of the most restrictive liquor laws in the country, including a ban on happy hour and limits on the number of drinks that can be served at one time. Proponents of the change argue that it will boost the state's economy and provide consumers with more choices, but opponents warn of potential negative consequences, including increased drunk driving and public intoxication.
