On Feb. 25, Eater published a short but very important post, pointing to the illegality of New Yorkers' beloved "bottomless brunches."
Specifically, the law prohibits "selling, serving, delivering or offering to patrons an unlimited number of drinks during any set period of time for a fixed price."
For many New Yorkers, whose weekends and social lives hinge around the $20 "all you can drink for two hours" deals offered ubiquitously, this is devastating.
1. Some New Yorkers are willing to relinquish their other freedoms to retain this one.
If drunch is illegal then handcuff me now. You can take my freedom but YOU CAN'T TAKE MY UNLIMITED MIMOSAS http://t.co/Un80bYAgCk
2. Others are boycotting the country as a whole.
IF NYC BANS BOTTOMLESS BRUNCHES I'M NOT COMING BACK TO AMERICA.
3. New Yorkers are saying "WE ARE SOBER, AND WE REFUSE TO STAY THIS WAY MUCH LONGER."
HELL IS REAL.
DON'T Y'ALL TAKE BOTTOMLESS MIMOSA BRUNCH AWAY FROM ME. IT'S ALL I HAVE LEFT (BESIDES THE BEYONCE ALBUM AND YOUR DAD.)
*softly begins singing "Didn't We Almost Have It All" while crying into a cup of orange juice*
4. Friendships are being terminated ruthlessly.
If you denounce bottomless brunch I will mark your tweet as spam.
5. And the very notion of freedom, the founding principle of these great United States, is being doubted.
If unlimited brunch mimosas are illegal, freedom has been reduced to nothing but a hollow and meaningless catchphrase http://t.co/z3Zix9getu
6. Bags are being packed. New Yorkers are ready to flee.
if this bottomless brunch being illegal rumor is true, someone better tell me soon because i've already started packing my bags
7. The bravest denizens are already forging solutions.
hey guys, bottomless brunch will always exist with seamless and champagne bottles in your living room.
Some more revolutionary than others.
i look forward to the gay speakeasies that will develop during the bottomless brunch prohibition
8. They are laying down their lives to fight the good fight.
you will have to pry bottomless brunch out of my cold dead hands
9. Raise your voices, denizens of the concrete jungle.
If bottomless brunch is illegal in NYC I no longer wish to live there.
10. Pry your Bloody Marys out of the long arms of the law.
I𠆝 got to jail for bottomless brunch http://t.co/4iHuLL42U7
11. This is, after all, the Big Apple.
Bottomless brunch is NOT illegal. It's delicious. And drunk.
12. Chop that shit up and make sangria.
you will never take away my bottomless brunch. NEVER
