Abusing freebiesA friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

A few years ago, when I worked in London...(why do all of my stories start with this?).
Anyway, one day a lady appeared at our Trade Counter and said "Do you guys like beer? Do you like Budweiser? Do you you want to come and drink as many free Buds as you want?"
Of course we all answered yes to all of these questions, and signed up. Anheuser-Busch were doing some research, so on the appointed night we all left work, went straight to the hotel over the road and hit the conference room, where we joined a few other chaps and chappesses.
Basically, there was a shitload of Budweiser there, all with the labels blanked out, some marked Type A, and some marked Type B. We had to drink one of each and say which we preferred, then we were allowed an hour to drink as many more as we could, while they made a note of which type we had.
As there were a few of us we then proceeded to enjoy an hour of chilling out, chatting to each other, and necking as many beers as we could. Our mate Lawrence "won", he had 18 bottles. I came second, with 16. As we left, there was a distinct wobble on the floor that hadn't been there when we started.
Oh, and I've just remembered - they paid us for it as well, £20 each! Is that the ultimate freeby or what?

SimilarBack in my student days I was in a similar situation. Got involved in some 'product testing' That took place over two nights. Each night we were given 8 pints and a survey form. A bit to fill out after each pint.
80 euro each for the privilege, and a 8 pint head start on two separate Wednesday nights!
