I dont believe it. I'm sure I could catch half of the stuff on this list if it was served to me.

Only one I saw in person was #2. That wasn't uncommon - coffee drinkers are pains in the ass anyway.

Why do you say that? My dad drink a cup of coffee every morning for all of his adult life. It became part of his routine and he needed that cup of coffee. One day, he got an ulcer and his doctor told him that he had to severely cut down his caffein intake. So now, he gets decaf coffee. What's so bad about that?

I would say it's like the whole non-alcoholic beer thing.

Sure, all true no doubt. Serving putrid meat is harsh but I don't doubt it's done. More likely it winds up in the chili than on a plate as a well-done steak. You'd have to have some pretty incompetent cooks for the meat to get putrid in the first place, too. The seltzer in the beer is a new one for me but not surprising. Pretty clever actually. If you are shit-faced and ordering cocktails in a bar, odds are there's not much alcohol in them. Even if you watch the bartender pour it's easy to hold the bottle upside down and not have so much drizzle out if the bottles are equipped with those pour toppers. Bars want to take your money and broke you so you leave faster. And no one wants you to have more booze because they don't want you to puke or die. So you get super weak drinks.

My friends and I suspected they refill the "top shelf" stuff at the Light club in Bellagio based on a visit there a few years ago, especially when the tender got upset that we asked for a sealed bottle to pour a 2nd round.

Drink your whisky or whiskey on the rocks and it is easy to tell what you are drinking.

funny, I know of places that go the other route and only serve decaf as both "regular" and "decaf" honestly, 90% of restaurants are crap.
