Depends on who you ask

A 2005 study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
meanwhile, began by acknowledging, “Happy hours, drinking contests, ‘all
you can drink’ specials, and the like encourage over-consumption by
reducing prices, a potent inducement to drinking large amounts of
alcohol in short time periods.” But at the time researchers found only
one study, conducted in Ontario, Canada, that directly tried to evaluate
if people actually drank less after happy hour bans went into effect.
Their findings? “No significant decline in alcohol consumption was
observed following the ban.”
