I had a different experience at a bar/club in Dallas in 1994. I was kicked unconscious by a moshing crowd at a Lemonheads concert (WTF?) and some random dude dragged me out. My friends told me that he carried me to the bar to try to splash cold water on my face and they wouldn't give him any, even with a bruised and battered unconscious girl in his arms. Another random stranger paid for the water.

Not sure what the moral of this story is, but wanted to say that some bars don't give free water.
