Would Toronto be more safer with no last call?



Night life in Toronto is a hundreds of million of dollars industry. If Toronto extended last call until 5a or staggering last calls over a longer period of time for certain neighborhoods, this may do two things:

  • People will not be as drunk. Imagine that their is no mad dash to the bar before 2a. You wouldn't over consume by buying too much before cut off
  • City will be safer: There won't be a mad dash of people on the streets looking for their cars or fighting for cabs. When you mix too many drunks in a small area nothing good could happen. By extending last call may cause people to leave at different times so club/lounge closings are more orderly

Toronto would definitely become more profitable and welcoming place for people to visit.
