And of course drinks won’t make you drunk.

Still, it’s not a good idea to encourage drunks to get up and dance on bars.

“When you’ve just been invited to get up on a bar by the owners of the bar, I think you can presume it would be safe to get up on the bar,” he said.

Safe is all relative. Unless she is dumb enough to think that somehow the bar could repeal the law of gravity then there is an assumption of the risk any time her cranium is more than 6 inches off the ground. She should also be quite on notice that the bar might be wet, as she no doubt at some time in her life spilt something on a bar or observed others do the same. But now it suites her
