It's happy hour in Illinois. Well, not right this instant, but many are happy that happy hour is back.
Alcoholic drink specials were banned in the state more than 25 years ago, but Gov. Bruce Rauner overturned that yesterday.
There are still some restrictions: So-called volume specials — like two-for-one, or all-you-can-drink — are not allowed.
Happy hour also has to end by 10 p.m. That's fine with your hard-working, overnight-hours Morning Edition staff, so long as happy hour can start at noon.
