I'm charged drinks to a random hotel room.
Why did you cause someone else to pay for your drinks?
I had several glasses while I was chatting with my friend, and didn't feel like paying.
Putting your drinks on someone else's hotel room tab is stealing which is incorrect. Pay for your own drinks or don't drink at all.
It's not technically stealing. It's like if I bought a camera for $500 and the time came for me to pay for it, I just said that I bought it for my friend so I would get it from my friend later on.
It's wrong to charge drinks to someone else's room. If you are unable to pay for a service, you should not use it.
