What does it mean to say, "I'm having too much fun?"

This means the person has had too many drinks.

How can I tell if a drink has too much alcohol?

Alcohol in strong drinks tends to be higher than alcohol in weak drinks. Proof is a measure of how much alcohol is in a drink. One proof is one part alcohol for every 100g of grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. bottle of wine would be ten proofs, and a 16 oz. beer would be 13 proofs, and a 40 oz. 45 proofs for a bottle scotch.

What kind of ice do bartenders use in their drinks?

There are many types of ice that bartenders can use depending on what type of drink they are mixing. For most drinks, cubed is used. While crushed ice for shakes or other non-carbonated drinks is used.
