An uproar over whether or not bottomless brunch is illegal in New York (and whether anyone cares) has prompted the State Liquor Authority to clear things up. As it turns out, drinking mimosas until you feel no pain is legal in the state.
According to the New York City Hospitality Alliance, the SLA classifies brunch as an "event," which allows it to hurdle the law. If you'd prefer to hear this in non-layman's terms, here's how the SLA explains it, in detail:
None
Still, the SLA asks that businesses not serve patrons to the point that they're slurring or worse. That's fair, but at least clarity has been provided. Credit the media for forcing this to happen.
Non-crisis averted.
