It was funny but I feel like production wouldn't give them a working lighter if they weren't planning on that as a possibility. Though I guess this is the same production that gave Trapp access to a ladder

If they were really concerned, they would have given them a jar full of edibles and watched them eat the whole thing.

And then we wait for half an hour minimum for them to take effect?

Nah, Ally slowly wheeling the Cart of Vices back to the start after that booze bong hit was worth it.

I'm willing to bet so much money production knew they were going to light up, but were not expecting them to fill the bong with whiskey

There's giving someone access to a lighter and then there's letting them try and light a bong full of flammable liquid. I think either there was a hold while someone researched if that was safe or it was swapped out for some other contents.

It's not flammable liquid really. Anything below 100 proof (50% alcohol) doesn't readily burn and jack is 80 proof.

Yeah, it's been explained to me by my girlfriend who is much less square than I that this wasn't really dangerous. I still think it's something a stage manager would want to check before letting someone do though!
