Apparently, working at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has its perks – especially if you enjoy the sauce.

According to the Politico: 

Roughly 100 employees of the business association ran up an $8,204 tab this week at The Exchange, a sports bar just blocks away from its prime real estate opposite the White House.

In order to run up an $8,204 tab, you have take your drinking seriously – which they did.

One-hundred-and-fifty-five pitchers of beer, 37 bottles of beer, 208 mixed drinks, 111 shots, 43 margaritas and 11 open bottles of liquor.

According to sources, they were hitting it so hard, they were forced to manage the wine flow from specially designed U.S. Chamber wine glasses – pictured below.
