A guy walks into a bar and tells the bartender he's got some real problems and orders 4 shots of Crown. As he picks up the third the bartender asks if he's okay and the man replies that you'd drink this fast if you had what he had.
Th bartender asks what he had and the man replies "Oh, about 2.00", downs the fourth and he leaves.

/or something like that

he provided his Capitol One credit card

Capitol, really?

That's Gingrich's card of choice.

Pretty cheap bar. Around me that would have been $165.

Fixed. (Eviction notice)

T be fair, that's how she got pregnant in the first place.

There's no mug shots with the article, but anyone who's ever been to Destin can probably put together a farly accurate one in his or her own mind.

Wow, Cash's is still open, I remembering partying harty there in the 1980s on spring break. Back when we still said party harty and were the orginal collar poppers.

The bartender's first mistake.

Are they sure it wasn't just Rosie Perez f*cking with people?

Back when I worked at a winery, I had to take alcohol server training. In a nutshell, we were told we were supposed to cut off anyone who might be a little tipsy....even if he/she had a designated driver or had a bus or limo waiting outside. However, if a pregnant woman wanted a drink, we were not supposed to say no. WTF?!

"I need five double bourbons, quick!"

"Okay, sir. Are we celebrating tonight?"

"Well, I just had my first blow job!!"

"Excellent, sir, have a double on me!"

"No, thanks, if five don't take the taste away, six won't"

What he said. Denying a pregnant woman a drink opens the restaurant up to a potential discrimination lawsuit. Cheaper to let the broad get fetal alcohol syndrome than to pay her a few hundred grand because she's actually just fat.

This is America, you can't just assume a woman is pregnant. Half the women in this country look pregnant anymore.

Are you a doctor? Answer me please, are you a doctor? Okay so you admit you're not a doctor.

Assuming someone is pregnant due to their appearance is not an accurate method of diagnosis.

Who are you to tell a pregnant woman she can't have a drink? Will even one hurt her or her child? (If yes, do you think this because of something you saw on TV or read on the internet?)

How do you know she's not planning to have an abortion?

I just find it ironic that a place called Cash's got ripped off for accepting a credit card.

Sure it is.

If she's carrying one of those little demon babies, then she shouldn't be drinking.

If she's just fat, then she doesn't need the calories. Lose weight fatty!

Either way, you're doing the right thing by denying the drink :P

When the bartender left the front to get a mop, the man and his girlfriend left the bar leaving behind the credit card, which was declined when the bar tender attempted to make the charges.

The man later told deputies he knew the card would be declined. "There was not enough money on it," he told deputies.


This is why America will fail: flat refusal to comprehend what a revolving line of credit is.

I suppose that varies by state. When I was tending bar at a microbrewery, our training said similar things about intoxicated people, but we did not have to serve visibly pregnant women. Now, if you're going to make that judgement call, you better be sure she's pregnant (for obvious reasons).

On one hand, I don't think it's anyone's decision but her own (to drink when preggers), but on the other hand, that poor unborn baby didn't choose to drink, and it's getting the worst end of the deal, so I wouldn't have a problem refusing alcohol to an obviously pregnant woman. Never had to make that call, though, thankfully.

/did cut off quite a few drunk a-holes in my time there.

My grandmother drank and smoked daily while pregnant with all 9 of her children and only one turned out to be gay.

Then again, families sue bars for drunk driving fatalities, so who knows.

It was opened in 2004, and is currently only distributed in the northern midwest. They are growing pretty fast, and I wouldn't be surprised if their distribution area grew 2 or 3 times in the next 5 years. They sell their brew in cans, so it's fairly easy to pick out.

Legally, you can refuse service to a pregnant woman. You just can't tell them you refuse to serve them because they are pregnant. You can, however, tell them you refuse to serve them because you have the right to refuse service to anyone.

I thought that this was going to be Wisconsin.

While multiple shots of Jager is almost certainly a bad idea for a pregnant woman, having a single beer or a glass of wine every now and then for a pregnant woman in the third trimester is no big deal. Many doctors even tell women not to worry about it. So why would some of you feel so righteous about denying them service?

I thought it was obvious it was a Cash bar...

On a side note, years ago, a pregnant coworker was wondering if she could have a few drinks during her pregnancy. When she asked for my take on it, I did the correct thing by telling her to ask her doctor, and left it at that.

I'm not sure how putting the beer bottle in the back end would affect pregnancy, which happens around front.
