I know when we had our 10 year class reunion at a local upscale hotel, the drink prices were inflated to a Pentagon-like level of inflation. It's easier to ring up a big bar tab that way.Livemallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567198484359363455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494243.post-1135143103503122502005-12-21T00:31:00.000-05:002005-12-21T00:31:00.000-05:00Yeah, but that all depends on how many coworkers w...Yeah, but that all depends on how many coworkers were present (this appears to be a huge corporation after all) and what they were drinking. Was it an open bar? Was a catering service charging 'market rates' for drinks, or were people just slamming back Absolut straight out of the bottle and stumbling to a nearby vending machine for 18-month-old Sunny D to chase it down?<BR/><BR/>LOL. no party for us this year. too spendy. same for our bonuses, I imagine....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494243.post-1135018593039630172005-12-19T13:56:00.000-05:002005-12-19T13:56:00.000-05:00$3,000?

That's a lot of booze.<BR/><BR/>I tend to avoid holiday parties becuse I figure I see my co-workers enough already, but me and my friends in college would have some raucus parties where we spent s couple hundred dollars on liquor.

Didn't know co-workers could hold their liquor so well...I guess the $3,000 tab is indicative of said fact. I've never seen such corporate craziness, but it sure was one wild ride!
