Bay Area restaurants institute penalty for brunch vomiters

Bay Area restaurants offering bottomless mimosas are finding that some diners are drinking too much and vomiting in the bathrooms — or right on their tables.

Apparently many San Franciscans enjoy getting smashed out of their minds at brunch.

    : “Dear all mimosa lovers, Please drink responsibly and know your limits. A $50 cleaning fees will automatically include in your tap when you throw up in our public areas. Thank you so much for understanding.”

    I usually complain about the rise of prices. But $50 to vomit on a table and force another human being to clean your nasty ass biohazard is so stupidly low.

    Yet dealing with patrons who lose their brunch is a reality for Bay Area restaurants offering the popular perk of bottomless mimosas.

    There’s a reason that there aren’t bars with “all-you-can-drink” business models.

          For my wedding we just loaded up Costco, got some kegs, and paid a friend of a friend to bartend. Ended up being a fraction of the price than having a bartender bring in all their stuff.

        That could be, but I suspect it would also be much less profitable and make it harder to get customers in the establishment in the first place.

          I’m old. I remember drinking at incredibly cheap prices in dive bars (and I mean incredibly cheap for back then). Customers would flock to these places because they were cheap, and they’d make a tonne of money due to the sheer volume of alcohol sold. It doesn’t happen anymore because we are more responsible as a society in some ways (read: the wowsers banned it).

      Usually liquor licenses only get taken away due to constant problems with drunk driving, underage drinking, or rape. While vomiting indicates over serving, it is hard for bartenders to know if a patron is going to vomit or not and the typical action is to cut off alcohol to a patron that vomited.

      However, I would agree that all you can drink is a recipe for over serving people.

      Mimosas make me sick way before they make me drunk. One is fine. But all that sugary orange juice mixed with carbonated cheap white wine really doesn’t sit well after 3 or 4. And I’m not even close to drunk at that point.
