Bottomless mimosa brunches may draw restaurant customers, but the sparkling wine and orange juice cocktails come with an obvious downside: patrons who overindulge and get sick. That’s why some establishments are now tacking on "vomit fees" for customers who throw up on the premises.
含羞草雞尾酒可無限暢飲的早午餐，也許能幫餐廳吸客，但這款由氣泡酒與橙汁混合而成的雞尾酒，有1項明顯缺點：客人會喝過頭與不舒服。因此，有些餐廳業者現在對在該店範圍內嘔吐的客人，加收「嘔吐費」。
One of those spots is the Oakland, California-based Kitchen Story, which has posted a sign that warns mimosa drinkers that they will be assessed a $50 cleaning fee if they throw up in the restaurant, according to CBS station KRON in San Francisco.
根據（美國）舊金山哥倫比亞廣播公司的KRON電視台，加州奧克蘭的「廚房故事」就是這類（加收嘔吐費的）餐廳之一，該店貼出告示，警告飲用含羞草雞尾酒的客人，若在餐廳內嘔吐，將被收取50美元的清潔費。
Another San Francisco-area restaurant, Home Plate, also warns brunch aficionados that they will face a $50 fee for "any incident [incurred] as a result of intoxication."
另一家舊金山地區的餐廳「本壘板」，也警告早午餐鐵粉，（他們若有）「任何因醉酒而（招致）的事件」，將被收取50美元費用。
