San Francisco forgets how to drink responsibly

Getting wasted and emptying your stomach is never advisable. It is almost excusable at a college frat party, but not if you are an adult, and definitely not if you are out to brunch on a Sunday morning.
Yes, it appears that is exactly what is happening to more and more San Franciscans. It has gotten so bad that restaurants in the City by the Bay have begun enforcing stricter time limits on their bottomless mimosas and imposing $50 cleaning fees per person.

Staff now have to have much the same awareness as bartenders to cut off excessive drinkers. At brunch. Is there anything safe and sanitary left in San Francisco at this point?
Of course, restaurants chalk up this new phenomenon to the pandemic and all the social decay that came with it. Evidently, a large chunk of mostly early-to-mid-20-year-olds now think it is acceptable to drink at 10 a.m. like a college freshman at a frat party. Then again, in San Francisco, it is considered acceptable to shoot up and defecate in the streets, so who can blame them for pushing the envelope?
Maybe if San Francisco were committed to ensuring that its residents were functioning adults capable of living in a real world with rules and social norms, this wouldn’t be a problem. But every city needs an identity, and you certainly have to admire the unique choice to be the city where young adults are wasted and vomiting at 10 a.m. brunch.
