Three grand! For a cocktail night?

I mean I've spent a couple hundo at Costco buying booze and food and paper supplies for a party I hosted and THAT was flabbergasting. How the fuck do spend three grand on cocktails? Is it like all top shelf liquor or something?

Hosted cocktail parties are generally not “paper plates and red cups”.

It’s interesting that you’re proving my point. General manners and expectations have been lost

It's a level of excess whose loss is probably a net positive for society. I would argue that there are very, very few cases where such a level is justified.
