50th Birthday ReceiptBwa ha ha! Found this receipt from four and a half years ago. It’s from my birthday dinner in 2004 where a couple of us were celebrating at Havana Restaurant on The Drive here in Vancouver.

Check out the bill and count the number of alcoholic drinks served. To wit… 2 Balvenie Scotch, 1 Pint Special, 1 Cream Ale Pint, and — wait for it — 32 bottles of Cuban Cristal Lager!

There was food, too, of course, but more than half the bill — $310 without tip! — was for alcohol. Crap!

Perhaps the reason I’d forgotten about this is because I’m still recovering from the hangover! “You have been served.” No shit!
