This is a question Conspicuous Consumption

Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

Ostentatious or lame?
A friend of a friend of mine* used to be in the habit of turning up at whoever's house we were round with very expensive bottles of wine. I'm not talking thousands of pounds or anything stupid, but bottles worth £50 or more. Not so out there in itself, but when you drink your prime bottle of Bordeaux after 6 red bull and vodkas and a packet of Marlboros, then decide to mix it with diet Coke, are you really getting any mileage out of your decent bottle of wine? Or are you a train wreck of a man, trying to impress in very odd ways?

Speaking as a former train wreck of a man
your friend probably has a problem. Is he still your friend?

I don't know him that well, but he is now married with a kid and I think he has stepped up to his responsibilities as it were. At least I've not heard any shocking tales about him for a while anyway. I think he's found himself a strict woman, the saviour of many train wrecks.
