Man, if I walked into a bar and the staff was mostly underage and high, I think I'd just walk out and never come back. Let's face it, in general you can tell when someone is underage and it's almost always obvious when people are on drugs. If the customers will make it clear that we won't deal with drugged out children in our bars, this problem would go away on its own.

I wish I had the talent to detect underage and high staff. Many Thais that work in the bars look young to me. As for detecting whether they are high, really is a talent. With the low lighting in the bars, unless they are acting wild and crazy, I would have no idea they were high on drugs.
