Trader blows 200,000 pounds on drinks

London, Mar 6 (ANI): A businessman splashed out 200,000 pounds on drinks at a bar in England, which could perhaps be the world's most expensive round of drinks ever.

The impressive outlay included 125,000-pound on a bottle of the world's most expensive bubbly, a 30-litre double Nebuchadnezzar of Armand de Brignac Midas.

Clubbers watched in shock as the man, believed to be a foreign exchange currency trader in his twenties, ordered it.

Liverpool club PlayGround boss George Panayiotou ordered the DJ to play the iconic opening music to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey - Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra as the bottle weighing whopping 45 kg was carried to the trader's table by two members of the staff.

He also shelled out over 60,000 pounds on other drinks for himself and ten of his pals.

His enormous order included 40 regular-size bottles of the expensive bubbles as well as two 4.5 litre bottles of Grey Goose vodka at 2000 pounds-a-pop.

His final bill of 203,948.80 pounds included an 18,540 pounds generous tip.

"The club went wild when he popped this huge bottle of champagne, and they were handing out glasses of champagne to everyone in the VIP room," the Sun quoted one clubber as saying.

"Frankly, there was no way all his group would have got through the bottle on their own anyway. This guy was phenomenally generous and was buying everyone in the place a drink.

However, surprisingly he himself didn't drink much and looked totally sober, but he enjoyed a lot and had a great time.

"The party went off with a bang and everyone was toasting this guy's generosity. He was there with about ten friends on a private table but after the big bottle came in they were mobbed by gorgeous girls.

"There must have been about 60 of them at any time vying for his attention and he then ordered shots for every single woman in the club," the clubber added. (ANI)
