PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Starting this weekend, happy hours are a lot happier in Pennsylvania.

New laws take effect in Pennsylvania that extend the amount of time bars can have happy hours.

Bars can now have 24 hours a week of happy hours, up from 14 hours previously.

The law also allows restaurants to offer discounts on food and drink combos.

Another law kicks in on Monday allowing ready-to-drink cocktails to be sold at gas stations, supermarkets, and grocery stores.
