Two bottles of wine in a restaurant.

demonrail666 · 08.14.2007, 01:57 AM

Just listening to the radio where a guy was saying how when he was in a restaurant in the US and ordered a second bottle of wine (he was dining with one other person) the waiter slipped him a card with the second bottle, giving information about the dangers of excessive drinking and a telephone number if he needed help. A question for the Americans on here: does his story sound believable to you, or is he more likely making it up? I've visited different parts of the states on a number of occasions and never had anything like that happen to me.

i've heard stories from english people living in america who've said that their american colleagues expressed horror at the english people getting drunk on a week night/going out on the piss/how much they drink, etc etc

That's because they don't serve alcohol at all in Macdonalds, Sway.

Who drinks during the weekday, that is just pure alcoholism. No, it is that Americans only party Thursday, Friday, and Satrday. Sunday is used to go to church, and pray for the sins of others.

I laughed. But you needed to input something about Jesus. Our lives revolve around him/her, even atheist agree.

Britney's kids need a stepmother, not Jesus Christ.

SynthethicalY · 08.14.2007, 04:49 AM

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 08.14.2007, 05:00 AM

kfed is okay.

alteredcourse · 08.14.2007, 05:00 AM

ive never heard of that happening . maybe its some tactic within that particular restaurant to seem like they give more of a shit than they do so that they attact a certain crowd .
or maybe a particular booze supplier of that restaurant asks that they do this for the same reason .
or someone who ate there once and smashed a bunch of shit and caused them a lot of damage happened to be drunk so now they gotta protect their good intentions of getting people politely wasted so that nobody questions their role in the drunkenness again .

jico. · 08.14.2007, 05:00 AM

that is not a very stupid idea afterall.

at least not as stupid as, and speaking of religion(which is stupid itself), drive-in church.

they have mcchurch's all over the us.

i mean, stupid are the people who attend to this kind of things.
the concept it's not that stupid because america is a target market for lazyness so i bet driven-in churchs bring higher profit than traditional churchs.

macrodollar · 08.14.2007, 05:02 AM

Well I can only imagine what the owners of that place thought if they'd seen me and 5 friends at a "bring your own" resteraunt with 8 bottles...
There is the slight thing that I could have died if I hadn't been looked after though...
All we do here is get pissed on the weekend, it's as British as curry.
