What does "happy hour" refer to under Arizona law?

Under Arizona law, "happy hour" refers to a promotion of discounted drinks at certain times. This concept allows licensed establishments to offer lower prices on alcoholic beverages for a designated period, which is a common marketing strategy used to attract customers during slower business hours.

The legality of happy hour promotions is regulated to ensure that establishments do not engage in practices that encourage irresponsible drinking habits, such as serving unlimited free drinks. Therefore, while discounted drinks are allowed, any promotions must still comply with state regulations to promote responsible consumption.

Additionally, the other options do not accurately fit the definition under Arizona law. Unlimited free drinks are not permitted, as this could lead to overconsumption. Serving alcohol to minors is illegal at all times, and penalties for excessive drinking do not define the term "happy hour." This is why the correct understanding centers on the promotion of discounted drinks during specified times.
