Really? The high end clubs I've been to usually had a 2 bottle minimum and each bottle was 1-2k

I knew a well known chef that worked at a lot of these venues the people buying alcohol were upper middle class businessmen. High society doesn't really drink. Especially at social events. It was a surprise to me when he took me with him as a kid.

I can +1 this.

I can't add anything more besides: having more than a few sips with food is already too extreme for upper crust sensibilities.

Everything in moderation makes everything well tolerated.

Maybe notart666 just meant alcohol us non-rich can afford.

[notart666]

I don't mean that. It's very uncommon for the wealthy to drink. It's not really a thing. They all think it's a scam and they don't like their kids near it either. It's the reason so many girls do horseback riding. It's a controlled environment.

This sounds like total BS.

I think he’s talking about the country clubs not offering alcohol
