It's the beer!

With all due deference to Spiff, it's not just the alcoholic drinks generally.

In particular, the beer on tap is close to the very highest caliber, whereas the liquor is only "very good."

In particular:

ATL Sweetwater 420 (formerly served Dogwood)
DFW Shiner
MSY Dixie
SFO Fat Tire (formerly served Anchor Steam)

I last visited DFW in Dec 04, so can't verify if it's still open. I'm sure those more well-travelled can add other beers to this list from different airports.

There's nothing like unlimited qualities of locally brewed keg beer. Even if it's not from a boutique microbrewery, the Crown Room Club offerings are pretty darn good.

OK, I know I'll be corrected about the perfect Bloody Mary or whatever.

De gustibus non disputandum.

For expenditures after 31 December 1993, they are most certainly not deductible in any shape or form. Doing so is flat-out cheating.
