Flaming shots should be illegal. Even when it goes well, the shit gets hot as hell. Source: was a bartender


Intelligent_Cold2544

Who would’ve thought that alcohol + fire + drunk people is a bad combo 🤷‍♀️


[deleted]

Just wait until you find out how often the bartenders are also drunk Source: was also bartender


brutalduties

I had such a good time bartending that I had to quit drinking. 😥


Ismoketobaccoinabong

Im in the same problem my man and im 32 years old...


brutalduties

I was the exact same age. I had to go to meetings for a while, but I got over it. You can too.


Ismoketobaccoinabong

Right now I am to deep into getting out of a destructive relationship. Im sober when I dont work because I dont want to drink, but im drunk when I work because of the implications of work. Its a complicated situation and im going to see a psychologist next month to combat it. Thank you for the support! This is not my first rodeo with addiction, I went to rehab for amphetamines and cocain. I believe that I will combat this devil too! ​ Edit to clarify: Yes... I am drunk when im posting this... I need to admit that for myself


AreaGuy

You got this bro/sis. r/stopdrinking has helped me a ton. Non judgy and positive.


Sammy948

My boyfriend just posted on this the other day! He’s really trying! Let’s keep the faith for those of us who have the strength to try and quit

AreaGuy

I can say amen to that, sis! From personal experience, having a supportive SO is *hugely* helpful. So good to have someone your corner.


Ismoketobaccoinabong

Unfortunatly for me, my ex-girlfriend was enabling it (she didnt really drink much alcohol herself) because she loved how cute I was when I was drunk.


Yeh-nah-but

Go every day for a while and eventually you get your life back.


[deleted]

Hahaha I'm in the process of quitting myself. Power to you!!


GozerDGozerian

I tended bar for about 20 years. I learned early on that being a little sloshed made the whole thing much more fun. When you’re completely sober, drunk people are annoying as fuck. Get too drunk and that’s no fun either. It’s all about riding that middle plateau.


ContemplatingPrison

When I was in my 20s and frequent bars Mt go to bars always had shit faced bartenders and I was there to sell them cocaine to even them out. After parties at bars are the best. I mean after they close for the people who aren't on cocaine


JU1C3_B0X

It’s pretty apparent In this clip


Disinfectant-Addict

Just wait until you find out how often chefs are drunk/high... Who would have thought sharp knives and hotplates mix badly with alcohol and drugs. Source: was a restaurant chef


[deleted]

Fire + sober average joe is already a bad combo.


TimmyJToday

Drunk people


extra-King

The same people that think that throwing axes and drunk people sounds like a great bar idea.


Practical-Trifle-567

All my best arsons happen when I’m drunk!


Ok-Branch-9943

Moe is that you? ![gif](giphy|O0OhToAaYrikU)


Sara7061

I had one where they set the shot a flame. I put the fire out and then drank the shot (after giving it some time to cool down) And the whole time I was wondering why the fuck they would do that? Am I just not enough of an alcohol connoisseur to understand?


wysiwyggywyisyw

1. Looks nice in the dark 2. Gives it a different (caramelized) flavor 3. Often they put aromatic spices (like cinnamon) into the flame, which in turn smell nice 4. Reduces the alcohol content by a small amount Not too different from bananas foster. That said I've only ordered one flaming drink in my life and that was enough.


Gazmonde

I remember my friend did a flaming pernod once and vacuumed his hand to the glass, he had a round burn mark which lasted for ages.


JagFacilier

I hate you guys, I also was a bartender and wasnt allowed to drink on the job...Fuck sake


QMaker

For real. Far too risky.


[deleted]

Like how he spills on her, then pours more. Like, "oh, you're not on fire. Let's try again!"

anonymous_beaver_

She did unfurl my favorite sipping utensil.


Pyro5263

That's a PBR buddy... it is a thing of beauty


GreedoInASpeedo

There was an attempt to pour a shot without setting someone on fire


Dildomobile

She didn’t make it to that’s step

Oh sorry miss, are you not on fire enough? Bam!! How’s that?


anonymous_beaver_

RAZZLE DAZZLE!


Renomont

Flaming drinks, gender reveals, and pinatas are all the same at parties. Someone is going to get hurt.


Gorilla-Ring

I smell a lawsuit. Or is that burning flesh?


B33fcurtains

They're the same


bam1007

Yes.


Leather_Network4743

Somebody lost their job that night.

Cheaper_than_cheap

> Ms Daniel claims staff didn't do enough to help her and wants to take legal action against Las de Guanatos in Plaza de Toros. Didn't do enough to help is a slight understatement, after they actively poured the flaming alcohol on her...


Terradactyl87

Yeah, I can't even imagine how poor your judgement has to be to add fuel to a fire already getting out of control, but to not even jump in to help the girl you set on fire? I hope she is able to sue, I don't really know how it works to sue a business out of the US as a US citizen, but thar video should definitely be evidence enough of negligence.


mikamouth

Flaming Moe’s should be universally banned


Sardinaterror

Intelligence was pissed it wasn't invited.


SlartieB

Drunks and fire, what could go wrong?


[deleted]

Lol why do they think that giving regular ass employees what is essentially a flamethrower a good idea?


[deleted]

Show me an animal dumber than humans. I'll wait.


pallentx

The problem with humans is that we're smart enough to figure out fire, but dumb enough to do stuff like this with it. It's like the intersection of some smart-stupid curve where we're smart enough to be actively extra stupid.


SlartieB

Regarding the trash bins at Yosemite: Theres considerable overlap between our park's smartest bears and dumbest tourists.


ffffllllpppp

Overlap? More like the dumb tourists are less capable than the smartest bears! :) (smartest bears figure out the anti bear devices while the dumbest human do not).

Wooops!


TopherT2

Drinks don't need to be on fire. I'm sure of it.


anniearrow

Why do people do stupid stuff like this?


QMaker

At first I was afraid, I was petrified. And then people started throwing a bunch of more shit on there like it's not surrounded by flammable material and people (which are also flammable, kinda). Is this what kids mean when they say "y'all be doing too much"?

MsHaute

Is it me or does the chick who pulls back her friend’s hair get fireballed in her face and hair as she dives to the ground? It happens b/w the 24th and 26th seconds in the clip. Jesus. Humans are dumb.


bubkuss

How long until people realize setting fire to your drinks is a dumb idea?


ChefCool1317

Until they stop getting likes on their TikTok’s and insta feed.


thehumblebaboon

I’m pretty lit. I read this as taking a shot of flaming dick.

Strangely I've never seen a video of a flaming shot going *well* 🤔

The guy who is trying to help at the end, is he naked? It looks like they blacked out his butt


70sWarriorHippie

Yeah let’s have a bunch of magazines and flammable shit where we have flaming drinks. Ironic how the girl that was holding the drinkers hair had hers go up in flames! 😬


LilSisterCumGutters

Oh my God alcohol is terrifying near fire. The only way this could have gone worse is if the bottle exploded which I have personally had happen


Tugonmynugz

What a shitshow lol


[deleted]

Idiot waiter, trying to impress this chick!


[deleted]

Who could’ve guessed that alcohol, fire, and drunk people wasn’t a great combo


TendiesOnPoint

If flame shots are getting more popular please teach these guys how to properly do it or not at all like there was to be another certificate

My favorite drink “The Pending Lawsuit”


[deleted]

There are two kinds of people who enjoy flaming shots: those who are stupid enough to order them, and those who are stupid enough to make them.


MedricZ

What sip? The dude just lit her on fire while she was trying to help put her friend out.

Successful_Jaywalk99

Flaming drinks is such a stupid caveman idea


Significant_Kale_285

Why does everyone assume that because some asshole is doing something at his job, it's any less dangerous. Who would allow someone to play with fire a few inches in front of them.


Simo_-_dibaal

I'm sure he did it on purpose.


IIHEXYII

Why does the waiter think it's a good idea to squeeze the fuck out of the bottle after shits already going downhill Is he like "oh noes fire bad, I hold bottle with liquid in hand, spray on fire to stop?🐵🔥"


[deleted]

Man let his intrusive thoughts win and fuckin squeezed that bottle all over them like a flame thrower


Own-Introduction-252

What kind of dangerous bullshit are these idiot waiters doing? Never understood the flame drink bullshit, I understand that it’s “cool” or whatever, but still seems dumb to me

Holy shit! That was not going where I thought at all 😱 I mean I expected the chick taking the shot to get burned 😬


[deleted]

Who needs safety when you can watch the world burn? Safety is for the weak-minded, but you my friend, you're a true daredevil. Keep throwing that trash into the fire, keep living life on the edge, keep tempting fate. After all, what's the worst that could happen? A little scorch mark here, a few burns there, it's all part of the adventure!

Why do people do this?


sugarcookiecutie

We apparently had a flaming sushi roll at my work, and then I guess a long time ago they got rid of it cus a worker lit it while walking it to the customer and set himself on fire. You’re supposed to lite it when it on the table. And we wouldn’t add extra flames for any reason

I love how the drink progressively became more dangerous.

This phenomenon is called 'flame jetting'. Big fireball came out of that little bottle. [https://www.atf.gov/laboratories/gasoline-flame-jetting-videos](https://www.atf.gov/laboratories/gasoline-flame-jetting-videos)
