Which of course I did every night.
    Executive room at the Belfast Hilton used to have a couple of hours in the executive lounge where the drinks were free.

    You could claim for reasonable drinks with the meal too.

    More dubious would have been the couple of bottles of Champagne I put through when celebrating one night.
    However, this was never actually questioned.

    Anyway, was a few years ago now

          Most do - I used to claim a per diem from my employer and fill up on snacks and drinks in the executive lounge in Glasgow all the time.

          Free snacks, drinks and afternoon tea at the Hilton Waikoloa was a nice bonus as well
