A Solution for High Corkage Fees?

Ada Kok: Me and my husband (Dick) have found the perfect solution in regard to those ridiculously high wine prices in HK restaurants: we buy a nice bottle. Before we go out for dinner we both drink a glass of wine. We pour another 1-2 glasses in a samll (sic) bottle: halfway through our dinner I go the ladies and take a few good swigs. Upon my return, Dick goes to the gents and drinks the rest. We get home we have another glass to finish off the bottle. This was we have a nice wine and save a lot of money.

I guess desperate times call for desperate measures, but even in HK, I am sure you can do take-out! Other options they could have tried was make jello-shots out of red/white wines and carry them in a strategically concealed small cooler and in between bites, when no one is looking, take shots of wine.

umm....I'm not sure how the "aroma" of the washroom would...errr....add to the experience.........talk about volatile gases!!!!!

If I have to go to the bathroom to drink my wine, I'd start to wonder if I also need to go to AA. There's a lot that's not right with the suggested solution.

This is just wrong on so many levels. It is kind of funny to think someone might actually do it though.

I'm just glad those two people found each other in life.

Much better though for gay or lesbian couples. At least they can share the same rest room while they swig away.

LOL!!!!

There's an archetype, here. When I ran a factory, there were workers who preferred to eat their lunches in the men’s room. The word ambience probably doesn't apply; there is probably some other expression that better describes the reason.

This "Me and my husband, Dick" pair might have been druggies before they discovered wine. It is of course normal to do your drugs in the restroom rather than at the table.
