Binge Drinking Moves To Limit Drink Specials
Iowa City officials urge state limits on alcohol price specials and happy hours to curb excess drinking.

Mayor Regenia Bailey cites two-for-one and all-you-can-drink deals as clearly inappropriate, while gray areas include discounted happy hours. City staff would define a special as a beer normally $3.50 sold for $2 during a set period.
