I've only seen one person drinking beer at our neighborhood pool in 5 years. I usually go about mid-day, during the later evening it might be more. I also hardly see anyone drinking beer on the golf courses, maybe as seniors we slow down. However, at the squares it's a different story, maybe it the dancing and music that does it.

At the squares there are alcohol stands on each corner of the square. With a regular band playing and it's a non-market night they'll have one stand open. On market night (Tue & Thur) at LSL and (Mon & Wed) at SS they'll have at least 2 stands open. If Rocky & the Rollers, Uncle Bob's Rock Shop or Johnny D is playing, they'll have 3 or 4 stands open. Happy hour is one hour, from 5 to 6 at LSL and Brownwood, at SS it's 2 hours from 5 until 7pm. A draft beer that's about 20 oz is $5, at happy hour you get 2 for $5, the other drinks like wines and liquor you get doubles.

If you want to see how big the crowds are, you should of looked last night at LSL webcam when Rocky was playing, tremendous crowd, especially now that it's snowbird season. If it doesn't rain, you'll see a big crowd tomorrow night (Saturday) at LSL for Johnny D and the Starlights.
