"Excessive alcohol use causes more than 79,000 deaths in the U.S. each year and contributes to a wide range of health and social problems.

The reports show that increasing the number of hours and days when alcohol can be sold in bars, restaurants, and liquor stores leads to greater alcohol use and related harms, especially motor-vehicle crashes. National, state, and local policies that remove previously banned alcohol sales on weekend days (usually Sundays) or that increase the hours of sale by 2 or more hours contribute to excessive drinking and many dangerous outcomes, including driving after drinking and alcohol-related assault and injury."

Do you think times available to sell alcoholic beverages should be limited?
