Angry Drunks on Wheels

[dazzelspace]

You don’t understand the issue at the Admiral – though I thank you for being polite. They KNEW they were wrong. In this situation, I am not going to get into a big thing with this drunk and his friends and his bar. How does that benefit me… ? This guy could have come back with a weapon and threatened me… how do I know? He’s drunk!

The issue along Alki is simple – the ‘hood doesn’t want nor like the nightlife – and parking down there is atrocious… so I doubt you will ever see this embraced by the City or the neighbors.

One thing you can do is park on side streets and walk – but that could be a ways. Maybe take the bus down there or a Taxi… thats what I would do (and have done) to go down to Alki in the summertime.

And yeah – I saw the guy – clearly drunk – get into his truck, smash into my car – and speed off burning rubber… so YES he was loaded. Then they told me he was there every day at 11AM!

that is definitly a problem that the guy is there everyday @ 11 so this was problem a more then once occurance. I do know that occasionally especially in a hit and run that if you call 911 and even give a partial vehicle description and partial license plate tehy will do what they can to track down the vehicle. it is really unfortunate to hear about people like that that have such a big drinkign problem. And i always just walk to alki (its a long walk but would rather be safe than sorry)but am selfishly more worried about myself being hit by a drunk driver leaving beacuse they are worried about being towed/ticketed then anything else. I am sorry that the guy hit your car like that.

dazzelspace- did you report this to your insurance co? If you are able to get his plate #, they can run it and go after him for the damages to your vehicle even if you don’t have full coverage. just a thought, that has nothing to do with drunks, bars, anything like that- at least he would be held financially responsible for his actions, since it’s too late to do anything legally to him. if he’s a regular, it wouldn’t be too hard to find his plate # if you weren’t able to get it at the scene.

I think that the reason this thread got a little out of hand is, Admiral Pub was a HUGE sponsor in our last fund raiser.

So, coming right on the heels of that fund raiser, it was easy for a lot of the members to be defensive about it.

They did, after all, donate about $200.00 to a local business that fell on hard times.

They are still a favorite of mine!!!!!

You get crazies everywhere, in every bar. You, dazzelspace, had a bad experience and should follow through with that individual. That is what law enforcement and insurance is for.

I wish you luck!

I’m still wondering why so much emphasis was on the Admiral Pub, when there seems to be such a lack of personal accountability when they step into a bar.

Your quote about bars that won’t serve more than two drinks to regulars that are driving is a little far fetched. YOu don’t have “regulars” drinking two drinks and then being closed out.

How many times have you been asked for your drink order and then followed by “Did you folks drive tonight?” It just doesn’t happen.

There’s alot of signs to cut people off, but I’ve also known some pretty good functioning drunks that you’d have a hard time recognizing imparity.
