This is an idea I read about in the comments area of the Peoria article published today.
If you want to read the article itself, here you go.

One smoker in there said her friend was sick and tired about not being able to smoke in a bar. So what her friend decided to do is renovate one of her crib's rooms and turn the room into a bar. And now this smoker can have bar-like smokers parties at her crib. Where her friends and guests can go over there and have smokes with their drinks.
That's a good idea. It is unfortunate taverns will be the losers in the long-term with the idea of smokers having smoker-friendly parties in cribs with large bar rooms.
So much for the economy hurting that smoking chick. Not if she can afford $1k to have her own bar built. |

I've said this for years, and it's finally beginning to come true-history will repeat itself. All my life, up through the 1970s, people would get together at each others homes for parties/getogethers/whatever, complete with food/drink/cards/games/whatnot, and it suddenly seemed to come to a grinding halt in the 80s-perhaps coincidentally with the advent of home video. I only know that in the 80s, with the onslaught of yuppiedom, people in this country began to drift apart.
Now it's going to come back with a vengeance, and will spur an entire 'underground' economy with card tables, games, both board and otherwise, darts, you name it. Also, home video is now a science, what with hugescreen tvs and sound that will knock you down. A lot of people have made a den that's like a small theatre. |

" Been there --- doin that"
Me and the brother started with a cooler in the middle of the floor and over the years have added a built-in bar,a pool table,a poker table, dart boards, two refrigerators, a big screen TV with the acc. and a stereo that'll knock the windows out if the kids crank-it-up 
We figured that it has more than paid for its self by buying the drinks by the case instead of by the glass. not counting the transportation and the chance of DUI's (with my drivers lic. if someone opens a bottle in the room --- I'm legally drunk  )
Yeah it'll work
