New York hotel offers $10,000 martini

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Drinkers might want to keep a clear head when ordering a martini at New York's historic Algonquin Hotel or they might pay $10,000 for that cold sip.

The landmark hotel, where famed wit Dorothy Parker and fellow literary lights at the Round Table imbibed, offers a $10,000 martini, complete with a loose diamond at the bottom.

No one has ordered one yet, in the martini's first week on the menu, but the hotel hopes some romantic soul will buy one any day now.

"We haven't had any buyers yet, but a lot of people are talking about it,". . .

i'm not going there......i get CRAZY when i drink and so does my amex card

ok so now i've fallen off the wagon two nights in a row...........

m
I swore to lay off the booze for a while - so far so good. I really threw myself a beating last week.

r
i've officially put myself on the wagon on weeknights -- I've decided I need to focus a little more and the midweek cocktails weren't helping me.

m
Well, I'm sure we can break that rule every once in a while , can't we?

r
NO WAY -- I will not break that rule - I will never have a cocktail on a weeknight again !!

m
I hope I sensed a tone of sarcasm in your "No Way, Never, Never"

m
you're not answering my question re: sarcasm

r
i'm out of here in a few....what are you thoughts on falling of the wagon?? Never, right?

m
i think you should do it & i will join you!!

From the British Press today......

Warning to women binge drinkers
"Jekyll and Hyde" woman binge drinkers are being targeted by a cinema advertising campaign. The advert warns women of the dangers of drinking too much alcohol - especially in the run-up to Christmas. It has been produced by The Portman Group, the body funded by the drinks industry to promote sensible drinking. The number of women aged 16 to 24 drinking more than 35 units of alcohol per week has more than tripled in the past 15 years. The advert starts with a young woman sitting at her desk, dressed in a smart suit. It then switches to her on an evening out, where she gets drunk, is sick in the toilets of a nightclub and ends up in the gutter holding on to one of her friends. Jean Coussins, chief executive of The Portman Group, said: "The facts speak for themselves: among young women aged 16 to 24, the proportion drinking more than 35 units per week has more than tripled over the past 15 years, rising from 3% to 10%. "Alcohol affects your judgment. You might go out as the sensible Ms Jeykll but quickly turn into the infamous Ms Hyde after a heavy drinking session. "Like the young woman in our advert, you could end up in the gutter making a show of yourself and putting yourself, and others, at risk."

Fearful that I am possibly stepping into some kind of booby trap:

dinzdale · 12-02-2004, 04:42 PM

8oz Beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 shot or Rimmer's panties.
