Happily I just got the hell OUT of Texas!! Yeah being back up north where the sane people are!!
But in truth, in Texas I was certified (and still am for 2 more years.. lol) by the TABC. They.. are really tough down there. When we went to the classes for it, we were told they do this stuff all the time. The only reason this one made the news was because it was in a Hotel probably.
What it dosent say.. is also all those bartender's and waittresses, and the bar it self got heftly fines for it (500 min for the servers, 5000 for the bar's).
TABC also does things like... hire's teenager's give them fake ID's and send them into bar's. Will try and TRICK bar's into breaking rules, among other things. Its why.. well basicaly they are set up. To make sure nothing bad is happening.
What I think is worst about this, is I just came from Houston. Going to the store less than 2 miles away. I can garentee I say at least one person if not MORE who were in the driver's seat with a beer in their hands. I.. swear its a "I am a moron from Texas" thing..
