What's that make the other businessmen, weary travelers, convention attendees, etc. all sitting at the bar with you? You could go wandering off into the night to save a couple bucks a beer at some local watering hole (if there's even one nearby). Or, you could pay a few extra bucks for the convenience of leaving your room without a coat, tossing back a few and hitting the sack so you can do it all over again the next day.

Or - don't. Slam-click and save your money. Personally, I've learned almost as much about flying over a beer as I have in a cockpit or classroom. If I wasn't in that hotel, I wouldn't be getting per diem. I'll spend it if I want - life's too short.
