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.
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.
Does California not have laws that take away liquor licenses for over serving?
