there would definitely be a learning curve for Torontonians if they decided to extend 'Last Call'. Because alot of people wouldn't quite know how to handle it and their initial reaction would be to do the same that they're currently doing....Until they quickly realize that leaving at 4,5, or 6am is quite different than leaving at 2-3am from a club.
The regular 'binge' drinkers will still binge because they'll want to get home before a certain hour but for the most part, partiers who want to enjoy the full extent of the club night will realize that they're better off stagnating their drinking because the party now goes on for longer and they don't have to leave so early.
This will help seperate the 'MEN' from the 'Mice', and by that I mean that those who can handle the longer nights will see it through, whereas the mice will still leave around 2-3am hammered, but you won't have 60,000 people all hammered loitering around the same area because they're forced to. |
We win! /high five :D
Now all that's left is convincing the province... |

| 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 . 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. |

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. |
