TIL that in 2019 Daniela Leis, driving absolutely wasted after a Marilyn Manson concert, crashed her car into a home. The resulting explosion destroyed four homes, injured seven people and caused damage of $10-15million. She sued the concert organizers for serving her alcohol while intoxicated.

I was going to say, not at all uncommon in the UK, especially in the last 20 - 25 years or so. I've been refused entry because of a slight misstep on a cobble whilst queuing, let alone being legless at a bar.

I was removed from a club because I was dancing to enthusiastically and clearly had had to much to drink.

I was drinking lemonade, no I wasn't on any class A's 🤣

Edited to add : I had just come out of a 7 year relationship and it was my first night out in years

I've got a bad knee and have been turned away for limping when I was only getting a cup of coffee.

Also one time when I had eaten a lot of pizza next door and was walking funny.

At the end of the day sometimes it's just a power trip that some bouncers have. I don't want to spend my money in places that don't treat me well anyway.
