I would hope that the bar staff would be given a heads-up as to which residents shouldn't drink alcohol because of their meds. This would work in a small facility, but maybe not in a large one.
On the osbornes, when Sharon was going through chemo, Ozzy was insistant about her having a pint of Guinness.

I'd be concerned about being on Chemo and then having a beer.
