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.

Scottish WeddingsScots Bride [my cousin] and English Groom. In Edinburgh.
Father-of-the-groom pipes up at a predominately Scottish wedding reception "For the next hour, the bar will be free."
Result?
Two bottles of expensive single malt finished. Two big bottles of gin. Vodka. Someone tapped out the keg of Stella. Pretty much a dry bar after we'd finished.
Final tab?
Don't want to know.

For this reasonthe best plan in this situation is for the benefactor to put say a £500 limit on the bar tab, or limit it to two drinks each. The latter is fairer, but the former is far easier to manage.
I'm a Scot - I speak from experience!
