Isn't that pretty much where we are already? You can't smoke in a bar and now you can't drink in a bar without worrying if you have too much (based on a comparatively subjective measurement designed to generate revenue). What's the point?
Better to stay home and drink and smoke until they make their way there too (in about what, a year or two?)
Only if you start beating you wife and or kids or or shooting up the neighborhood or maybe an ambulance has to be called to carry your drunk butt to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.
I guess after years as a paramedic and working emergency rooms I just have little sympathy for people who let alcohol control them and can't control it.
Sorry I can't hang around and spar with ya'll but I have a doctors appointment in 1 1/2 hours.
I wonder if the bar came under any penalties for overserving. I know bars have to be careful about this, and they will cut you off if they think you appear to be intoxicated.
