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.
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.
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).
There’s a reason that there aren’t bars with “all-you-can-drink” business models.
Isn’t that what weddings are for?
It’s part of the reason they are expensive.

That’s the way to go.
Isn’t that because legally bars are supposed to prevent you from getting to that point (whether that actually happens is another story)?
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.
