Hey all,

Even though I hate to agree with Reno bikes on anything (remember calling me an idiot in September on this listserve? I won't forget. good times.) we pretty much have the same policy. Drunkenness is pretty rampant here and people are asked to leave pretty quickly if they can't keep their shit together, it depends mostly on the behavior though. We don't necessarily throw someone out if they reek of booze, they could just be sweating it out.

We get A LOT of drunks.

Hey Folks,
Quick question: How do you deal tactfully/respectfully with users of your space who are visibly intoxicated or smell strongly of booze? It's our policy to not allow people to work in this state (for personal safety, amount of oversight required, and comfort levels for other users of the space). This policy, however, is never really enacted. I suppose we don't (I don't!) feel comfortable asking people when I suspect their intoxication may lead them to react abrasively. Any specific lines or strategies you use?
Cheers,
