Responsible Bartending

Yet another one of my updates without anything to do with games. Woo hoo! Anyway, while Maarten and Steve are playing grabass with CliffyB at QuakeCon, me and Andy remained here in good old Austin because a friend came into town. Well, we're at a bar on 6th street last night and Andy was driving so he was having water. The most responsible waitress ever came up to us at had this conversation: [Waitress] Would you like something instead of your water now? [Andy] No thanks, I'm driving. [Waitress] Oh come on, it's Friday night! Now that's what I call being desperate for tips - risking your patrons' lives! Never a dull moment!

  • thursday night was my last night at a well known chain restaurant that has a bar. While i was cleaning up/doing my work, i hit the bar a couple times for shots of stuff. I take liquor really well and know when to stop, so i wasn't worried about driving.

    i mean come on, a beer on a full stomach isn't going to impair your driving ability. I have served alcohol to many people who proceeded to drive home, but they weren't *drunk*. They would just have maybe a beer.

    of course, if someone is drinking water i let them, part of upselling liquor is knowing when they want it, but are afraid/don't want to ask.
