I'll tell you when I've had enough

[Dinner]

Come on, you little *****! Fess up about getting 86'ed.

[Dinner]

Getting 86'ed is a rite of passage, it is. Like your first crossing of the equator, or pissing on the great continental divide, or the first time a girl quiffs in your face.

A friend's brother lives near DC now.

He was in a bar, had 2 pints, and they refused to serve him a third because he'd 'had enough' according to the staff. He's a big guy, 6'5 or so and used to drinking English style, 2 of your small American pints was like a gentle aperitif, he couldn't believe it.

[Krill]

I honestly don't recall getting rolled out of any bar in Seattle but with luck I will eventually get rolled out of one of them.

I have gotten seriously rip raring drunk in many bars in Seattle though, and even more in the PNW in general, so I am sure it is only a matter of time.

The Central Saloon Bar. Awesome bar

[Dinner]

Days may be still ok, but it's gone from charmingly crass to uncomfortably sleazy.

Sleazy? It sounds right up my ally. How are they with patrons getting 86'ed and then vomiting on their front door?

He should drink micro brews. Not only do they taste better but they're much stronger. He must have been in a really ****e bar.

[MikeH]

I don't know what beer it was.

And yes, it was in DC, apparently all bars there are ****e.

What's an 86? Is that like a backwards 69 with a fat bird?

Don't worry, bro, been there too. In fact, I vaguely remember getting tossed out of some famous (was it Gramercy Tavern?) place while chilling with Venom during one of the NYC poly meets. I probably shouldn't have drank for five or six hours before that but the German place was so perfect for drinking.

That was the counterglow meet.

I will always remember the conversation I had with Krazyhorse. All three times.

Oh dear. We're used to our North Merkin cousins struggling to keep up with us when they're over here, but I didn't realise it was quite as bad as that.

[KrazyHorse]

Did you have a good stumble home after our night out?

[Cort Haus]

A most excellent stumble home - all three-and-a-half miles. Unfortunately there were no cathedrals to wee on en route but it was a good night. Well done Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

I believe the origin of the term "to get 86'd" (meaning physically thrown out the front door of a bar) started during prohibition where a Speakeasy in NYC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chumley%27s) became famous for throwing out patrons who got to drunk. Everyone called it "getting 86'd".
