Alabama's last call law states that it is at 2 am. I also don't know if people realize this, but there are also 3 Division 1 college programs in the Buffalo area and there is Triple A Baseball, along pro indoor lacrosse too. Buffalo City School District's City Honors School has been in the top 10 nationally on lists by national publications and there are some other good public and private schools in the city and metro area.

No club or bar that ive ever been too has had a 2am last call. Some even serve 24/7/365.

There is one FCS, one FBS, and one Division III college programs in the Birmingham metro. Birmingham has a Double AA baseball club, with a new stadium opening downtown this spring. Also there are good public and private schools in this metro too.

It could be based on the city/area, as it varies here in NY. Buffalo is 24 hours on certain holidays, I believe. Last call (bar term) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He's telling the truth. After clubs in Tuscaloosa close at 2, many kids travel to Birmingham to party some more.

I believe it. I was just saying that it can vary by city/area. Many people in the Buffalo area go to Canada if they are under 21 or just for a change. There are casinos in Niagara Falls on both sides of the border too. Buffalo also has a rail/subway line as well: Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) - Metro - How to ride the Metro Rail

Birmingham has a poor to almost non-existent transit system, with no efforts to improve it in sight. Very difficult to get around this metro without a car.
