San Marcos bar hours extension passed, now council must approve

A long standing controversy in San Marcos may soon come to an end. Tuesday, voters approved a non-binding resolution to extend drinking hours at bars from midnight to 2am.

Sweeeeet!! is right. I estimate we will have a huge boost in dwi revenue, because at 2am it's going to be a whole lot easier to sort the drunks from the legit traffic. Especially in San Marcos!
Of course, with extra drinking time before driving, there's prolly gonna be a few more deaths too. But, hey....you voted for it! Hope you don't regret your new "freedom."

Hey Officer Lovin It. This is actually a good thing. No it won't stop all people from driving drunk, but it will at lest help. It will prevent them from Driving drunk between cities, because there was a lot of them are doing. Trust me. i know. i was in a head on with one of those idiots, and three former friends of mine that live there do it. At lest this way b/c they are still in the same city they can take a cab or bus or have friends close by that can drive them. Hopefully on top of that good people or bar tenders will take the keys away from these drunken idiots.

ok people dont like the bars being open late get over it , its a good thing there will be more money comin in to this city instead of austin and like it or not bars here are mostly locally owned and they deserve the right to make a little extra cash , and to the cop thats is sitting there going this is great i get to lock more people up why do u be part of the solution and inform the people of this town about S.W.A.T instead of posting up by the stadium waiting to pull people over .
