Jim,

We're with you. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. It helps each of us to think through various situations and how to handle them.

It is unfortunate that Kildare's is basing a policy on an unfortunate incident. People do stupid things when they've had too much to drink. It is when they do something inappropriate that they should be removed by the bouncers, not before. We might guess how many females have been in Kildare's regimental or commando. Kildare's appears to be trying to cover themselves from a liability standpoint. Unfortunately, they are painting all kilt wearers with the same brush.

Going regimental or not is a personal choice, and no one else's business (except in my case, my wife's).

It's too bad that your roommate doesn't get it.
