Night of drinking

Details
Description
An unidentified African American woman with her arms around the shoulders of two unidentified, unenthused, African American men, sit at a table while having drinks at an unidentified venue. The table has a tablecloth, four glasses, a glass bowl with ice in it, a bottle of Seagram's 7, a bottle of White Rose, and what is likely a bottle of seltzer water and a bottle of water. The man to her right wears a wide tie with a large swirl pattern over a dark shirt, under a vest, under a suit jacket. She wears a dark blouse with a bow at the collar as she smiles at the man to her right. The man to her left wears a light colored suit with a wide printed dark tie. He holds a cigarette in his left hand. He appears to have a scar on his upper lip from his left nostril to his lip. Five unidentified African American men sit at other tables behind the trio.
