California restaurant charges fee to boozy diners who 'throw up' after drinking too many mimosas: report
San Francisco restaurant is reportedly reminding 'mimosa lovers' to 'drink responsibly' at brunch — or pay the price
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A California restaurant apparently will hold guests accountable if they overconsume booze while enjoying "bottomless brunch."
Kitchen Story, located on 16th street in San Francisco, reportedly has implemented this policy: If a customer becomes sick from indulging in too many mimosa cocktails, he or she will have to pay a price.
"Dear all mimosa lovers, Please drink responsibly and know your limits," says a sign that hangs near the restrooms, according to the New York Post.
