Best answer

Let D(x) = x is drinking. Let G is the set of people in the pub, this is our domain as given in the question.

Then :

"There is someone in the pub such that, if he is drinking, then everyone in the pub is drinking" = $\exists x (D(x) \rightarrow \forall y(D(y)))$

Now, this above statement is Always true for non-empty G.
