A bartender's secret weapon
Last night, bartender who works at a North Charles Street watering hole told me why you should never get on a bartender's bad side.
This bartender used to work at a coffee shop, where a guy kept being really rude to her. So one day, she brought in a little bottle of Visine and squirted it into his coffee.
I don't know if this really works or not, but she said it makes for one monster case of diarrhea. And she's not afraid of dosing someone else, should she need to.
So, the next time you're getting ready to yell at your bartender, remember: They're in charge of what you're drinking.
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

that bartender should be VERY careful because it can also cause low blood pressure and cardiac arrest... I think that would be called negligent homicide. I guess 5-10yrs may be worth 'getting even'

I concur, visene is extremely poisonous!! i've been told that if there IS a good way to die, this isn't it!
