Watered Down Liquor?

So I was wondering WHY I drink but never get a BUZZ




Apparently it has been revealed by the NY Post that some popular clubs in Nightlife were fined thousands of dollars for a number of discrepancies by the State Liquor Authority such as finding insects in the area they serve liquor including inside the bottles that contained liquor to not serving liquor in their proper container and altering the product.

Some of the venues listed in the article as sited for the unsanitary conditions included my favorite after-work spot Ultra as well as others that are popular amongst urban nightlife such as BLVD and Marquee. In relation to these particular clubs, the fine violations that were mentioned as well were not properly displaying their Liquor license and not having a proper cabaret license.

There are two violations I found highly interesting regarding Marquee whose staggering fines of $100,000 could have put them out of business in October 2008. They were fined for allowing a "disorderly" climate that led to fights in their club which in laymen terms refereed to the type of crowd to which they patron. The other was having non-registered bodyguards which was a big issue in the Immette St. Guillen murder which Daryl Littlejohn who was a bodyguard with a criminal history that was recently found guilty of killing her after meeting her one night while working at a NY bar.

Murders, safety concerns, NYS violations and watered down liquor, Nightlife is at an all time low could this get any worse?
