Then again if desperate for ideas it probably would not hurt to visit that bar and ask.

IRS is unlikely to accept the bar tab as legitimate business expenses.

But then again the comment on Reading a companies complaints list is interesting - find the customer service mnager at big Corp and ask them ?

Hmm, might actually try that :-)

There's no blanket IRS rule against deducting a bar tab if it is indeed a "reasonable" business expense.

This whole track points to a different thing, how sociable (or not) are we the developers, thanks for the comments.

The problem with the IRS is that "they" hold the definition of "reasonable", for a bar, tab? I rather swallow the cost.
