It's said that vice is virtually recession-proof. Meaning no matter how poor one gets (believe us, we're getting there), there's always enough scratch for a smoke or a drink. In fact, we can't think of a better way of escaping all the economic bad news (as well as the summer sun) than in some darkened tavern having a drink or four. So in an effort to make your pocket change go farther, here are some select listings of various happy hours and drink deals around town.
