Serious question about the bar time thing: Is that a poorly disguised blue law where they're doing the "big lie" PR technique, or are they actually serious because bar close time is currently 9pm on school nights or some similar paternalism?

It's currently 2 a.m. for all bars. The proposed change is all new bars must close at midnight, unless that bar is located in a hotel with at least 20 rooms.

The actual area that would be restricted by this is mostly shops, restaurants, and tourist areas. It's largely seen as a push by the blue bloods to force their will on the rest of us.
