AmTrak is offering up to a C-Note’s worth of free booze on their overnight trains.  I reckon you need to bring your own alka-seltzer for the hangover.

From the AP here:

Amtrak is trying to gin up new business by offering $100 in free alcohol to customers on some overnight trains. The national passenger rail company is making the unusual offer to promote a new high-end service being offered on a trial basis for certain sleeper car trips.

Members of Amtrak’s guest rewards program—the railroad equivalent of frequent fliers—can get a $100 per person credit for alcohol between November and January.
The offer of free drinks comes on top of the dinner wine that is already included in the cost of a ticket for GrandLuxe trips on the California Zephyr—chugging between Chicago and San Francisco—the Southwest Chief between Chicago and Los Angeles, or the Silver Meteor between Washington, D.C., and Miami or Orlando, Fla.

At about $6 for a house wine or $7 for a top-shelf scotch, that credit could fuel a long ride.

I tend to get motion sick on trains if I am on them for a long time.  I imagine a hundred bucks of free booze wouldn’t help that queasy feeling very much.
