For the purposes of this survey, a binge drinker is defined as one who often consumes five or more drinks (for men) or four or more drinks (for women) in a short period of time. We salute Utah's self-control, and shake our heads disapprovingly at Wisconsin's debauchery.
As staggering as this receipt, confirmed authentic by a manager at the Cavalli Club, may be (it's about $105,630 USD), apparently this club regularly sees tabs between $50K and $140K USD. There is some price-gouging going on here, though, that's a $30+ USD cake.
This fellow here, Alex "Ace of Spades" Hope, managed to tally up a £203,948 tab at the Playground night club in Liverpool. Granted, £125,000 of that was for a single 30-liter bottle of champagne (though I don't know if that makes it better or worse).
The tip? Only £18,540 - or roughly $3 Bumblejillion USD. What a cheapskate! Yeesh!

Back in Wheel of Fortune's early days, on their extended dinner breaks it seems Pat Sajak and Vanna White would hit a Mexican place across from the studio and knock back margaritas until they'd "have trouble recognizing the alphabet." We'd love to see some tapes of those episodes.
In case you've been living under a rock for the past week or simply don't enjoy wildly depressing news stories, the man pictured at the top is Luka Magnotta, 29, a Canadian self-professed gay adult film star who murdered a Chinese student in his apartment, uploaded a video of it to the internet, decapitated the body, and sent various body parts to, among other places, the Canadian Conservative and Liberal Party headquarters.
On June 4, Magnotta was arrested in Berlin, but not before the Montreal Gazette posted a picture of the deranged killer on its website drinking a Labatt Blue.
Harmless? Not according to Labatt, who subsequently threatened to sue the Gazette if they did not remove the image. Labatt associate general counsel Karen Sullivan had this to say to the newspaper:
"As I am sure you can understand, this image is highly denigrating to our brand, and we are disturbed that this image remains on your site despite repeated requests and the many images available of this person."
Labatt later dropped the case, but not before the internet got a hold of the story. The result? A Twitter tag called #newlabattcampaign. Some of the finer examples of slogan suggestions are pictured above. Just another example of when you're dealing with the internet, it's best to just let sleeping dogs lie.
