re: So let me get this straight re Colorado bars no alcohol after 10pm

Same situation. My local bar has about 15-20 regulars, a lot of older retired folk. They get there at 3 or so, and most are gone for 6pm. Another group of younger(40-60) go after work and except on Fridays, are gone before 8. Let them open from noon to 10pm so some people can have an income. Plus the couple of bucks from the Video Poker machines for the owner.
