Well I don't think they are going to be saving that much because most people do not start drinking heavily at those hours but sure a couple of bucks. Can't speak about the downgrade, probably wouldn't make that much of a difference to me.

I think it is very possible a local thing. But I bet they are cost cutting. The champagne has just went from Bollinger to Taittinger, small change but cheaper. No alcohol from 4:30am - 8am ? Definitely saving them money.

I am no way AApologist, but other post accusing food poison and improper food hygien at Flagship Lounge. Now accusing cost cutting at Flagship Lounge. Let's get proper facts and evidence before we make such accusation.

Definitely OT, but...
I was in CLT one morning after a very boozy night out with colleagues. At 6:15 there was a bar open and serving breakfast. I thought salvation was at hand. I ordered a beer (a purely defensive maneuver, I can assure you) and was told "I'm sorry sir, but local laws state we cannot serve alcohol before 6:30 am."
So there I sat for a lonnnnng 15 minutes pondering the difference between 6:15 and 6:30.

Blue laws (alcohol restrictions) date back to the Prohibition era and basically were originally designed by "defenders of morality" of that time (with the support of organizations such as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union) to encourage people to go to church and spend time with their family, rather than altering their mental state, on Sunday mornings.
Many states continue to have these laws, in some cases because of local culture, in some cases because the state legislature just has not gotten around to changing the laws, and in some cases because state officials believe the laws help to reduce alcohol-related incidents late at night. To this day, some states also cut off liquor sales on weeknights at specific times for off-premise consumption, like ABC/liquor stores, even if alcohol continues to be available at restaurants and bars for on-site consumption.
