I'm f'ing glad I live in the U.S., and especially in California. Most of these scams shown work really really well in heavy booze-regulated places.

If I'm not happy with a drink, I don't go back, and I won't tip.

Similarly, when I go to Europe and tip, the bartenders usually want me back the next night, and then I get in on the skim.

BTW, some of you probably need a refresher:

ibiza!! i was just there in september. i love that place, except for the prices. about the living in the US comment...i dunno. when i was in spain, almost all mixed drinks came in the glasses they showed last.

from what i remember, the standard way was to fill it up with ice, fill with alcohol for half the glass (not by time), the rest with the mixer, then you get the bottle the mixer came in. in general quite stronger than US drinks...but also more expensive.

im sorry but if you cant tell whether or not there's any alcohol in your drink, you need to a) quit smoking or b) get a new tongue...

If you seriously can't tell how much alchohol is in you drink, you really don't have any idea what it should taste like, or you have already had to much to drink.

This is true, but also, a lot of people like to "get drinks" but they are not fans of a strong alcoholic taste, so if they get a weaker drink, they're happier with the flavor, so they dont think about how they're getting ripped.

There is still alcohol, just not much, it isnt overpowering.
