Why are bouncers such power-tripping baxtards?

yeah, and whats the answer to that bouncer question -

"Are you alright for drink?"

Answer A - "Yes I am, I have had two bottle of beer and I am going to continue my night in this club by drinking fizzy water and talking about politics..."

Answer B - "No, I am not alright for drink. If I was I'd already be passed out in a chipper up the road. I am going in here to continue to get bladdered while doing everything in my diminishing power to get my hole"

Which is more likely to get you in?

so basically what I'm hearing is he couldnt go in to front so they teamed up and went in the back entrence, had a good time in there for a while but when they came out there was some fall out and their night got covered in shíte?

That's a pretty crap buzz.
