How will a few drunkards hit up the economy, when most people struggle to buy their second round?

Also, how are you going to help the economy if you're staying out until 1am, when you should be going to work the next day hungover?

    I imagine it's not seen as a magic silver bullet that will fix our whole economy, but rather as a bit of help for one specific industry.

    E: yes, confirmed:

    Ministers are pushing ahead with plans to allow premises that sell alcohol to extend their opening hours in order to boost “the British night out” and help the hospitality sector.

    The headline is just misleading.
