Judging from the responses above mine, I'm not the only person who found the comic a bit strange... I don't know if it's different in America, but I have never seen a bar that didn't offer at least a few non-alcoholic drinks (and some snacks).

It's probably a dive that doesn't really care about the local law. I have been to plenty of bars where they didn't even care if one smoked inside, despite it being illegal in my state since '98. All it takes on top of that is one surly bartender and I can see this happening.
--- Quote ---If nothing else, I know very few people who drink vodka (and vodka is a pretty popular drink in my country) without any sort of chaser. In fact, the fact that I don't bother with chasers leads, more often than not, to people giving me funny looks

Actually, I got a round of Grey Goose for a friend and some people she knew for her birthday and when they all wanted a chaser, I would have at least teased them if it weren't for the occasion. I blame it on them being inexperienced drinkers, though. Living in a university town now compared to a major city, I do see fewer people drinking their booze neat (usually only the regulars at the sole remaining working class bar actually eschew a chaser). It seems as though many at that age want the effect and not the taste.

The LHC creates a Very Small Parping Sound. Think "cosmic fart in an elevator".

Or quite possibly, "weasel flambée".

Well, we've got the disadvantage that since QC is a fictional universe to us we don't actually know that romantic-comedy tropes aren't valid for it. Characters should know better.

If this was in fact a romantic comedy, my personal reaction to this page would be, "I smell loooove." :3

Designated drivers being somewhat helpful, after all.
Hell, if I went into a bar, asked for water, and got treated like that, my next phone call would be to the Tavern League.
Only so many liquor licenses to go around, and it's a long wait list.
