In the case of Baileys, that 'something' might be less appetizing than water.

I was nearly swayed by a temptress ahead of me in the supermarket queue the other day. My purchases a few veg and wotnot; her purchases some fine cheeses and a bottle of Baileys.

Sounds like that could have been a wonderful evening

You certainly wouldn't want to stay the night. She would have been farting mustard gas.

I find that it is best not to start raiding the mini-bar when staying away for a gig because that can cause a hefty dent in the profit from said gig.

Not always the case. I worked with a scouser many years ago who also did a bit of TV repairs to supplement his income.
Anyway, he mentioned that if you wanted to watch in-house movies for free then if you took the back off the TV, there were some dipswitches set up so that they corresponded to your room for billing purposes. He would alter these on day one, watch all the films he wanted, then reset them before checking out on a friday. Some random person would then get your bill.
He had also found out a way of getting round paying for the minibar, which involved powering it off and disabling the internal battery. He would then just leave 1 of everything at the front of each compartment. Real wide boy.

Many hotel TV systems can be hacked easily with a USB TV Tuner and a laptop.

I stayed in one hotel that had budget tellies in the non-exec rooms. These couldn't get the full range of channels that the exec tellies could. Sorted by smuggling in my video recorder from home.
