When you are at the bar, and all else fails, dancing, drinking water, going to the bathroom, drink coffee.
I cannot tell you how many times this has, in a small way, helped me out of a cantina.
Ok, so, it does not work every time. Actually, it rarely works. Water is your best bet, really. But, who wants to drink water at a bar? Especially down here. Coffee, at least, has been heated sufficiently to kill whatever germs there may have been, if they did not filter the water.
Okay, if I must say it, for those of you that do not drink, (really, what is your problem?), not drinking is the best option. You will have no trouble leaving the bar, or driving home. But, also, you probably will not have as much fun as I do. 😂
If all else fails, make sure your “support” is sober enough to walk behind you, and carry your sorry self out of the bar. 🙂
