I second my wife's pitch for beer. Good beer, if at all possible.
I rarely drink hard liquor and prefer the grain to the grape.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

...see, I like all beverages. All of them. Gin, vodka, tequila, whisky, bourbon...most any spirit, or liqueur. Red wine rather than white or rose, ideally, but so long as it's not Egyptian it'll be yummy.
Not a big fan of beer, but I don't hate it, and some beers I do thoroughly enjoy.
So, in short, the bar sounds fantastic. And the food also sounds fantastic. And there's a whole big lot of fantastic going on.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
scenario exploring: if two self-confessed super beer snobs, rather than imposing their tastes on the party in general, were to get some craft beer and stash it in the hospitality suite fridge, would we be able to access it for the prom, and drink it there? Or would carryover from the HS to the Prom area be frowned upon and, well, tacky?
'cause the more I think about it, the more I know, we're gonna need good beer. And beer tastes vary WIDELY. And I don't want to drive Deb around the bend for our particular libation fetish.
Anyway. Just a heads up that I am flexible in my inflexibility.

Our wings are not tired.
Carryover from the HS to the Prom would likely be frowned upon. Floating back and forth from the HS to the Prom would be fine. In the past there was a lot of floating back and forth between rooms, the HS, and Prom. Both for drinking the private stash and just escaping to a quiet spot for a bit.

OK. Good to know.

I think it would be great if the hotel offers locals beers, but as long as we escape the horrors of "beers" like Miller Lite and Coors, I'll be fine. All we really need is a moderately well stocked bar with premium brands. If someone's heart is set on a purple passion martini, they can bring the required mixers to combine with the bar's vodka.

Count me in on the beer cart, it only takes one or two really good ones to keep me happy. Even if they're all in the HS, that's fine with me. I'm sure I'll be one of the people hopping back and forth for the quiet.

There has never been a single alcohol-related incident at any of the previous 4 Proms,
well, unless you don't count Drew's flirting :)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm not sure that's incident so much as must be Tuesday.
