And for once, I'm not joking in the least. Seriously, that's just daft!
Yeah, here in Texas the local bars only start to FILL UP at around 11pm.

You know it used to be 10:00pm in England. All bars were shut between 3pm and 6pm too. Then an extra hour was given about 15 years ago as well as all day opening. I think this all started during the 1st world war. The powers that be wanted to keep the ammunitions and agricultural workers etc sober. Funny that it's only just changing to flexible full hours next week.
