Objection
You're assuming they knew how many he had. I've ordered drinks from a bar, drinks from several waitresses, paid with cash. Busy bar, you think everyone is comparing notes on how many drinks an individual person has had?
I'll give you a tip from someone with experience in the industry ... The answer is no
You're focused on numbers, when numbers don't matter. Some people are slammed after five drinks. Numbers mean nothing. I could probably stretch 29 beers out over an average show night. I'd be drunk, too drunk to drive, but I probably wouldn't trigger any alarms with bar staff
I'd be willing to test this. You are near me. Lets do it
i got my first liquor license in pg county md on may 25 1978. had three in that county 2 in dc 2 in fairfax and one in montgomery county md over the next 20 years.
its your responsibility as a license holder to be on top of what happens in your place
when you get a name like mike the corona guy you are one of "those" customers. the kind that get to bend the rules since "hes cool". or he was till he killed that kid
heck i did three day blackout where i went to work i was "that " customer
lets not try to pretend we don't know what drives it
greed
i tip well enough that folks break the law and betray the folks they work for
and greed gets folks dead
how do you feel about the pill pushing doctor thats facing 95 charges in our area? including a manslaughter beef for someone down your way who dies using the pills she served up
