A Florida man was arrested for starting a fire and assaulting other patrons at a bar last week, authorities say. 

The New York Daily News reports that 33-year-old Jason Buchanan was drinking alone at a sports bar in Daytona Beach, Fla. on Friday afternoon. After having 10 shots (who does 10 shots at 12:42 p.m. on a Friday?) of Jägermeister worth $80, Buchanan reportedly went into the bathroom and started a fire. An elderly man tried to stop Buchanan as he attempted to exit the bar, so Buchanan punched him—and another man who came to his defense—in the face.

Police, who believe Buchanan started the fire because he didn't want to pay his tab, arrested him and charged him with aggravated battery, arson, criminal mischief, assaulting a law enforcement officer, battery on an elderly person more than 65 years old and defrauding an innkeeper of under $300. 

The damage to the bathroom wasn't severe, and the victims were treated for minor injuries. Don't do 10 shots before 1 p.m. and, most important, don't do a single shot that you can't pay for.
