Amtrak is trying to promote their high-end sleeper car service by offering passengers $100 of free drinks on some overnight trains (in addition to the free wine they already get with dinner). This is GREAT NEWS for those of us who like nothing more than to overindulge while traveling. The service will be available to members of Amtrak's guest rewards program (kind of like a railroad frequent flier program). The promo runs from Nov to Jan on trains going from Chicago to SF, Chicago to Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. and Miami or Orlando.

Drinks are pretty reasonably priced at about $6 for a house wine and $7 for a top shelf liquor. That's about 12 drinks if you include tip. That should give you a nice, solid buzz.

All I can say is that I would definitely need a sleeper car if I put that offer to work. And perhaps a toilet, some Asprin, and a ride home from the train station...
