The issue with tropical drinks specifically is that they're really designed to be consumed while sitting down; the vessels are unwieldy to begin with, and then when you add 3-4 garnishes on top ... And shared drinks especially, you just can't walk around/pass around a big glass skull. So, in short, when the place is really packed there are just too many people standing around with nowhere to go. If you're in a big group like that you just need to wait until you can get a table. Regardless, 3 Dots should definitely take a page from the Violet Hour playbook and strictly limit how many people they let in at one time.
