SF Gate reports that Kitchen Story in Oakland posted a sign in its bathroom.

It tells mimosa lovers to "Please drink responsibly and know your limits. A $50 cleaning fee will automatically include in your tab when you throw up in our public areas."

The sign went up nearly two years ago during the pandemic.

Several other restaurants in the Bay Area have implemented the rule.
