a phrase similar to, and building upon, your typical 'happy hour'. However, thanks to getting easily captivated by great friends, hearty laughs, strong drinks and good music, 'happy hour' usually extends beyond the standard period of time, usually in late afternoon and early evening, during which a bar or lounge features drinks at reduced prices, and generally carries on well into the wee hours of the morning. Before you know it, you've been celebrating for eight hours......'happy eight'!
It's Friday night, the bar has happy hour from 4-7, but I feel a 'happy eight' in the making.
