Warning - do not drink and kiss

on a high rise balcony railing
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/dec/15/two-students-fall-60ft-to-their-deaths-while-kissing-on-balcony
<snip>
Two students fell 18 metres (60 feet) to their deaths while “making out” on the balcony of a luxury apartment, an inquest heard on Monday.

Anastasia Tutik, 19, and Miguel Ramos, 18, were kissing when they lost their balance and plummeted from the sixth-floor ledge at the block of flats in Deptford, south-east London.

The pair had met earlier that evening at a friend’s party in the flat, which has views of the Thames and Canary Wharf.

They had been drinking before they went outside together. Tutik was seen sitting on the railing in the moments before they fell.

I think that was a bigger problem than "drinking and kissing".
