    		Its that time at the bar between 5-7pm,there arent too many people in the bar, prices are a bit lower than usual and the hectic atmosphere of the crowded bar has not yet arrived, hence the term happy hour.

    		Happy hour is a specially scheduled period of time — usually an hour or two in the late afternoon — during which some restaurants and bars give discounts for drinks, especially alcoholic drinks.

    The term originated in the United States Navy. In the 1920s, “happy hour” was Navy slang for on-ship performances. “Happy” in this context means slightly drunk.
