@Matimber_becks: “11 Don Perignon bottles, 7 Ace of spades, 2 Veuve, 4 Hennessy, 2 Moët which is 26 bottles and other stuff from 00:20 to 04:58, that’s just money laundering.
@YB_JLN: “If you’re dropping R300k on booze in Joburg, chances are you have access to a 1% lifestyle at Joburg prices that you simply wouldn’t be able to have in New York.”
@RobForbesDJ: “You could fly 4 people to New York City, stay in a swaggy Manhattan hotel for a week and drink bubbles there, though is my point.”
@iswiegers: “The crazy part is… a lot of these tabs don’t get settled at the end of the night. The owners then have to chase after these thugs with lawyers to try get their tabs settled.”
@PrivateJay01: “How does the economy grow here if we all go drink in New York ? Let it make sense talking about them contributing to South Africa economy.”
@BontleMS: ‘All I know and stand by 100% is that no one who makes an honest living will spend that amount of money in one night, on booze.”
