This is very disappointing.
I don't take girls to Starbucks for dates. Starbucks (and coffee shops in general) is where I occasionally go on weekends to relax, read, and have a hot drink. If this catches on (which it may very well do, especially somewhere like the UK where there is a huge drinking culture) then this is going to alienate those people who don't want to be surrounded by obnoxious drunk people trying to talk to you and start fights - at a fucking Starbucks. They can go to a bar for that for fuck sake.
