Deep-In-His-Cups is an Argonian who approaches the Dragonborn in a random encounter, during or after completing the "A Night to Remember" quest.
Interactions
The Drunken Dare
He demands 10,000 
from the player, claiming that during their night of binge drinking, Sam Guevenne and the Dragonborn dared him to enter a Bandit camp and steal a hat, for which he would be compensated the aforementioned amount.
To resolve the issue, the Dragonborn can either pay him, talk him down to 750 (with Speech), intimidate him, or simply admit to not having the money. Selecting the last option will turn him hostile.
Ironically, the hat itself—which can be received by paying, pickpocketing or killing and looting him—is worth 1 .
Dialogue
"Hey! There you are, you drunken bastard. I did it, so pay up."
- Who are you? "We caroused together with Sam Guevenne, remember? We broke into the Temple of Dibella? How much did you end up drinking? You and Sam dared me to go into that bandit camp. Well I did and brought back his stupid hat like you said, so give me the 10,000 gold you promised."
- I don't remember any of that. Be reasonable. (Persuade)
- "Well... all right. Just because we are friends. Give me, say... 750 gold and we can call it even." (Success)
- Here's your gold. (750 gold) "Thanks. You and Sam drink too hard for me. Think I'll take my gold and go buy a nice bit of swamp in Black Marsh."
- Sorry, I don't even have 750 gold. "If there's one thing I hate more than a mean-spirited drunk, it's one who can't settle their debts."
- "Nice try, but those bandits almost killed me. Now pay up." (Failure)
- I'm not giving you anything. (Intimidate)
- "All right... All right... Fine. I thought we were friends, but you're a real jerk, you know that?" (Success)
- "Are you kidding me? I fought off all those bandits. I'm not afraid of you." (Failure)
- Here's your gold. (10,000 gold) "Thanks. You and Sam drink too hard for me. Think I'll take my gold and go buy a nice bit of swamp in Black Marsh."
- I don't have 10,000 gold. "So you're telling me you and Sam just sent me in there to die, then? I want my money, you bastard."
- I don't remember any of that. Be reasonable. (Persuade)
