Live the same

Somewhere in the archives I found a photo of this bar - the same one where I was treated to several thousand dollars' worth of whiskey. I'll add it to this post, although the photo is terrible

Anyway, after we chatted a bit and drank a fair amount, our friend - the "player" - invited us to a restaurant that was not included in the all-inclusive package. Our consciences had already been soothed by generous portions of firewater, so of course we agreed.

At that point I was still feeling pretty confident and good. We went into some place that was completely empty - it probably doesn't pay to have a paid restaurant in an all-inclusive hotel.

As soon as we sat down at the table, some man called the “player” over. He told us he was being summoned to a card table, but we could stay and everything would go on his tab. He said goodbye, and we never saw him again…

I wonder if he ended up winning that tournament or not. Considering how much he drank with us, I guess it wasn't that easy to play, hahaha.

Right now, it seems to me that saying "Everything's on me!" to four tipsy people was a pretty reckless move, hahaha. The girls we worked with immediately ordered an $800 bottle of wine. I clearly remember it was very dry, and I didn’t like it. Honestly, everything after that is a blur—there was the restaurant, then we wandered around the hotel... Good thing we didn’t make it to the ocean or even the pools—at least we had that much common sense.

I also remember ordering a bottle of some expensive whiskey and taking it with me, but apparently I lost it somewhere during those drunken adventures… although most likely, I just forgot it at the restaurant. I don’t think I’ve ever drunk that much in my life.

I’ve got some strange photos on my phone too. It seems I had time to admire some of the exhibits at the Hard Rock Hotel, like Elton John’s piano, clothing from other famous musicians… but I have no idea what I was really doing the whole time. I also don’t remember how I got home—not to my room, but actually home…
