Bar Tab and Legal Question
When I sign my receipt on my bar tab, is it legally binding if I'm drunk?

2. Your bill for the evening -- yes. An actual bar tab?
.
.
.
Bar tabs are generally those given to customers as kind of a "bar credit" -- "I'll
gladly pay you Saturday for a nice cold beer today."
.
.
.
Though relatively common, they're against the law in many states.
.
.
.
So it depends.

Do the bouncers know where you live?
.

.
Many (all?) states have laws prohibiting bartenders from serving you when visibly intoxicated.

Good luck proving you were drunk.

3. I await the answer to this question as well
I'm due some serious beer and travel money if not.
