thats right, it's a arcade game not a bar, one slip up and i got pop, or worse BEER, ever seen dry beer? ever smelled it? nasty stuff pooring into the machine.. no plexi wont stop all of it, some of it WILL get in between the plexi and the CP..

just eliminate the possibility of it from ever happening.. it's not to much to ask for someone to put their drink on a table 3 feet away.

have similar policy around my computers.

my mom's boyfriend owned a bar when i was growing up, and i am now a veteran drunk so i know the smell and hassle of spilled beer all too well myself. 

my current mame cab has a slanted control panel so theres nowhere for someone to set a drink.  i do have a table within arms reach though.  i think thats good enough, most people arent going to play and drink at the same time.  theres usually a chance at the beginning or end of a level to turn around and grab a big chug of beer.

however, if i had multiple cabs or ones where someone could potentially set a drink, i would definitely be asking people to set them on a nearby table instead. 

its the same way with my pool table.  if you want a drink, you can go to the bar a few feet away and get a drink.  the only person allowed to set a drink anywhere on the table or its rails is me.

I have had no problem with mine, I converted my garage into a little bar and had no problems at all.  And all of my friends are big drinkers, I guess that I just trust my friends.  But acciedents do happen
