Maybe it's because we're all old and can't hear so well, but let's try to respect everyone's space, please.

I feel your pain, but people talk louder because they want to talk with each other and have to talk loud enough to be understood. If there is a loud band, they have to talk even louder. It drives me crazy to see lips moving, but not be able to make out what my dinner companion is saying. Thus, I avoid loud restaurants at all times, and Happy Hour is out of the question. My hearing sort of gets paralyzed after five or ten minutes of noise like that, and then being there gets miserable. At my house, any hour can be happy hour, I can be in silence or play the music of my choice, and I can enjoy my drink in my favorite chair or even relaxing in my pool. That’s why I’m always happy.
