and a lot cheaper. True sipping tequila.

(13,868 posts)6. Both above posts are right
Every state has laws against over-serving people, and while the bartender would face criminal charges the civil penalties against the bar would likely bankrupt the owner.

(52,185 posts)3. congratulations, you win $1,000! now, 50 shots of patron, let's see, that comes to... $1250!
ok maybe it's not quite $25 a shot, but still, after paying for the drinks and the e.r. trip, i doubt he's showing a profit....
never mind that this is likely a potentially lethal dose without medical intervention.
