At every club, there’s always the one drunk idiot who throws their drink around. But sometimes, that drunk idiot turns out to be you, who’s not even that drunk. You just happen to bump into someone and whoops, there goes your vodka soda all over them. So what is the correct etiquette for spilling your drink on someone?
1. Apologise
Probably the most important of them all. Spilling your drink on someone is awkward for you and annoying for them. Not only have they now got sticky alcohol or soft drink on them, it probably ruined their hair and makeup too (not always, but it does happen). Oh, and you’ve also lost your beverage! So the first thing to do is apologise profusely. Saying sorry is only meaningful when it’s said sincerely and while looking into someones eyes.
2. Offer To Buy Them A Drink
Even though you’ve just lost your beverage and have to buy yourself another, the other person is covered in your drink so the right thing to do is to offer them one too. (You can always get your flirt on the the cute boy at the bar later and score a free drink or two).
3. Assist Them To The Bathroom (If They Are Female Of Course)
Offer to dry their hair under the dryer or help wash the alcohol of their outfit. Let them borrow your hairbrush or hairspray or makeup, etc., that is stored in your bag, they will be very appreciative. You never know, you may make a new best friend from this incident.
4. Be Nice
The other person might be a complete dick about it and storm off cursing. Don’t stoop to their level, repeat steps one and two (for male) and three (for female), then let them have their rant. If they continue to be a pain after you’ve done all of the above, walk away. It was an accident after all. (If it was intentional, throw your drink and run).
