Exactamundo!

Extending last call has one function in my opinion: Stop people from slamming a sh*tload of drinks as last call approaches so they can keep thier buzz going until close. IMO that's when the madness starts.

last call if definitely right now designed to get people HAMMERED. all the reminders they have in Top 40 places are insane. even if you don't want to drink you think like you have to because they are advertizing so much.

there is no advertizing of last call at TiL on Fridays or at Guv on Saturdays.

The people who are slamming back drinks at last call are going to slam them back at 3:45 pm....it doesn't matter if you extend the drinking hours....its in their mindset.

Maybe if they extended last call till 5 am or something, our scene wouldn't be so polluted with people doing pills and shit. I mean I'm sure there'd still be a lot of crackheads, but I bet it'd eliminate the need to do drugs to stay awake. And let's face it, substance abuse, whether it's legal or not, is part of what makes partying fun.

But then again, are drunks any better than crackies?

What if last call is abolished altogether? What business does the government have in telling us adults when we can and cannot drink in the first place? It would certainly cut down on binge drinking.

But you'll also have many people who still end up leaving around 1am/2am anyways just because its starting to get late.

Then you'll also have more people who are adequately drunk that they don't feel the need to slam back at 3:45 or so.

Also, if last call runs till 4 or 5, and the club closes at 4 or 5 - slamming back 2-3 drinks wont do you much good because you'll be leaving soon anyways. Where if the club shuts down at 4, and last call is at 2 - your still in a "ready to party mood" and slamming them back to get you through the last hour or two of the night.

Yeah, you'll still get people doing the last-call drink-rush, but I dont think it'd be nearly as bad as it is now.

IMO: Get rid of last-call all together, 24/7 drinking - let the bars/clubs decide when they want to close down/stop drinking/etc.

I'm not even a drinker - just think the whole last-call system is stupid and causes more problems than it solves.

And while the words ‘thought provoking’ might not be ones to describe a club, CiRCA will likely change your mind.

this comes off as a bit conceited. There are already a few clubs in Toronto that are very spectacular in both design and technology that even guest djs are awed by.

Im sure Circa will be great, but no need to downplay what is already here. If anything, its the crowd in Toronto that is lacking, not the clubs themselves.

The liability issues with allowing bars/clubs to decide when they want to stop serving alcohol would be an even bigger concern. As it is, bars have a high level of liability when it comes to making sure patrons are not intoxicated and driving. If you allow 24/7 drinking that level of liability is going to sky rocket.

I can just imagine what the cost of liquor liability insurance would be if this was the case.
