You know you've accomplished something when you get handed a bar tab for $156,679.74 -- including a $25K tip.

It's kind of funny to imagine the Boston Bruins settling this one at the end of the night after winning the Cup: "OK, who had the four Jagers, two Bud Lights and a bottle of Crown Royal?"
One imaginative version of the story here:

I keep getting the mental image of Steve Carell saying "Put it on my tab"
I can't fathom $156K of boozing.
The bulk of it is whatever the hell a bottle of ACE Midas is.

Apparently, a 30L bottle of champagne, one of only six in the world. Probably as appropriate a moment to pop the cork as any, especially if you've got a Stanley Cup handy to pour some of it into.

Makes sense then, bit crazy of a price but then again that would be a bit crazy of a celebration.
Don't get to drink bubbly from lord Stanleys cup too often. Might as well go big.
But almost all the beers are light beers? I'd expect better....
No, no, no...
I think you're all mistaken.
That's SacDuc's and DanTheMan's tab from West Coast DIMBY... [evil]
...and slowpoke with all those cases of Mickey's. [laugh]

Hey, that comes out to a mere $3600 a liter.
That's insane... and I thought I've been drinking a lot on vacation.
i wonder if they all chipped in and who the guy was that "forgot" his wallet. lol
would like to see the Maverick's bar tab as a comparison...
Wow! Googled it, and Bruins put em to shame! [beer]
"After the Dallas Mavericks won their first ever NBA championship, owner Marc Cuban treated his team to a six-figure celebration.
The team rang up $110,000 at Club Liv in Miami's Fountainbleau Hotel, and $90,000 of the tab was from a single bottle of champagne: a Nebuchadnezzar of Armand de Brignac - a 15L bottle that is the equivalent of 20 regular sized bottles. Cuban also left a $20,000 tip for the wait staff after partying with the team until 5 a.m."

of course they did...cause hockey players are tougher and there are more of em!!!
I'd be proud of either bar tab! [thumbsup] [beer] But I wouldn't waste the bulk of it on bubbly. [bang]
Cuban is a hoot. We kinda get sick of his BS here in DFW but he was strangely quiet during the playoffs and a class act at the end. [clap] [popcorn] He can afford the tab. ;D
how about $47k for dinner for 6?

They had to throw the espresso in there when Johnny Walker kicked in a little to much.
Who was the wanker that went for the 2 Blue Moons?
And since when did a tiramisu dessert cost $15.00 and a large water cost $12.00?? [bang]
Chara is offended [roll]

When a mid-level civil servant's annual salary wouldn't cover a decent tip, you know you've got a hell of a party tab!

And then kopf replied and I was like [bang]
I sent a pic of the tab to one of my boys over in the sand box. This was his reply. :D
"make the beast with two backs me! what does a sip of $2k per bottle champagne taste like I wonder? Probably like unicorn vagina!"

Or better yet, lower left's!

i agree with the comment posted.
who pays $300 for a bottle of captain morgan?
a handle of it doens't even cost over $30 in PA.
that was either a massive bottle of private stock or they are retarded.
They're hockey players...partying after winning the Stanley Cup.
They don't care how much the booze costs.

i still think they are dumb for paying that much.... >:(
the fact that they make more money in a year than i would in a lifetime just makes it worse.

If it was a .75L that's about $12/shot.

which in a high end nightclub sounds just about average....you are generally charged about $3-8 for a shot of most any given regular liquor in a club generally speaking....

YES
Pales in comparison, but last year at the indy motoGP, on a sat night party down town we hung out near the yeagaer tent all night. I was fed shots of Patron from some dizzy tits boobs (employee at the tent) for a whopping $7 a shot. I bought several rounds, and life was good.
Later that night my buddy tries to return the favor back at the marriot bar. They charged $27 a shot and I'd have rather dropped it on the ground that drank it from between the cheeks of that hag-tendress.
$27 a SHOT? GTFO
What's going to be ridiculous for me is being in Vegas the next couple days where mixed drinks are $7+ per. Doubles are twice that. Stupid I say.
Thankfully there will be an open bar for most of the time and I can most likely sneak in on someone else's tab the rest of the time. [evil]
