Okay, so for sake of transparency here? I'm really enjoying myself. And I've got a personal rule these days of no more than one drink a night. College party days and all that. You won't be offended if I order something non-alcoholic and maybe some bar food to share? This isn't a ploy to force you to stay longer or anything. Bar food was not part of the earlier agreement. It's just... an added bonus?
