Yep, and there's a perfect reason not to push the have a drink agenda. One never knows the reason behind abstinence.
I'm usually patient, as you are, explain logically, but the more intoxicated the person becomes the more vociferous they often become. Sometimes a smashed bottle in the neck one must get a little more forceful with the individual .
Heh, I used to work security at a bar like the one in this video (same small chain, different location). Friday and Saturday nights we'd have 1500 people in there loaded on booze and drugs, got lots of practice at getting a little more forceful 😎
I recall you saying so before...I don't know how you did it to be honest.
