Is the stacking rule still in effect for liquor service in Hawaii?

The stacking rule, which regulated the practice of allowing patrons to stack drinks in Hawaii, has been discontinued. This means that establishments are no longer obligated to enforce restrictions that once applied to how liquor could be served, including limits on how many drinks an individual could order or have in front of them at any given time.

By stating that the rule is no longer in effect, it reflects the current regulatory environment concerning liquor service in Hawaii. This change allows greater flexibility for establishments and patrons alike, facilitating a more relaxed approach to alcohol service compared to the prior regulations where stacking was a concern.

It's important to note that while the stacking rule may have allowed certain practices previously, the newer regulations may still guide service practices to ensure responsible consumption and promote safety, but the specific restrictions of stacking drinks as defined by the prior rule have been lifted.
