Where Did "Happy Hour" Come From?

The best Happy Hour at the Lake of the Ozarks can be found on the Bagnell Dam Strip, Monday - Friday from 3-6 pm.  Tuckers Shuckers offers incredible drink specials and half-price appetizers each week.  If you have ever indulged in a "Happy Hour," have you found yourself wondering where the term came from?  We were curious, so we did a little digging.  

It actually evolved from a term used in the Navy.  In the 1920's, sailors were given a scheduled amount of time to distract themselves from the monotony of life on a ship. Most of the time "Happy Hour" for them involved some type of athletic activity, such as wrestling or boxing.  Today, Happy Hour for us is still great for injecting a little fun into the monotony of a long day.  

Beyond the Navy, Happy Hours began gaining popularity during prohibition.  People couldn't buy alcohol to go along with their dinner, so they began sneaking off to speakeasies for a few cocktails before heading out to eat for the evening.  The term was adopted, and soon having a few drinks between work and dinner became the thing to do.
