While I certainly applaud the ingenuity of the approach, I can too easily imagine a circumstance where a guy is at a bar with a bunch of his friends, he starts to become unruly and a couple cooler heads try to calm him down, but then he realizes that not only does he really want another drink, but if he gets kicked out of the place, he gets a free drink on top of it all. Maybe he's too inebriated by this point to connect the dots, but no one should underestimate the power of a free drink. I think you’re right about giving someone an incentive to act like a buffoon.
