Is there not a law that requires bars like this to make water available to thier patrons? Seems logical to help prevent hangovers and other dehydration related problems. People are dancing and drinking in a hot environment without access to water. Sounds crazy to me. I went to the Red Room last night and had a nearly identical series of events.

I cannot even believe what I just read. It was bad enough but when the bouncer showed up, I was sure this story was going to end with you getting your water and the bartender being reprimanded. Instead, you have to back down and return to your table out of fear of being kicked out for asking for a glass of water. I was at Staples today to get a backup battery for my computer and the sales guy had just come from Mr. Sub and he offered us some of his cookies. After being offered baked goods, I'm even more astonished to hear about people withholding water. CRAZY! Out-freaking-rageous! I cannot even believe what I just read.
