Paroled OJ Simpson was drinking the juice of an adult beverage kind in Las Vegas on Friday while chatting up women during his evening on the town.
The 70-year-old felon seems to be making the most of his new freedom as he ordered drinks and took pictures with fans at the upscale Grape Street Wine Bar & Cellar.
Simpson seemed to be relishing the attention of the ladies in the house as he talked with an array of women and appeared animated during his outing.

The conditions of Simpson’s parole allow him to ‘consume alcoholic beverages but not to excess’. He will occasionally be tested for it, but if his BAC is under .08, he’s in the clear.
Simpson was released from a Nevada prison two weeks ago after serving nine years for armed robbery.
Since his release, he’s taken a few trips around Nevada, one of those being a visit to the Las Vegas Police Department to register as part of his parole.

Simpson was spotted ordering takeout last week at Wahoos Fish Taco restaurant in Las Vegas.
He’s also been golfing and lounging by the pool at the multi-million dollar mansion he is staying in.
The 70-year-old was seen laughing with other patrons at Wahoos during the video as he sported a white visor and a light blue polo shirt.
The conditions of his parole dictate he must report to his state parole officer on a monthly basis and obtain permission from the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation when he changes his residence.
The 70-year-old was paroled from Lovelock Correctional Center on October 1 after being sentenced to between nine and 33 years in jail for robbery and kidnapping in 2008.
In September of 2007, Simpson led a group of men into the Palace Station hotel and casino to retrieve sports memorabilia at gunpoint. Simpson admitted to taking the items, but insisted they had been stolen from him.
Some of Simpson’s accomplices ultimately testified against him, leading to his conviction.
Previously, Simpson was found not guilty of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1995. However, he subsequently lost a civil trial and was ordered to pay $33.5 million to the Goldman and Brown families.
After 22 years of interest, it is believed Simpson now owes $100 million.
That means that some of the cash Simpson earns in the future must go to the families of Brown and Goldman.
If he were to take cash – for example, from signing autographs – but not declare it, he would violate federal law and his parole. He could then end up back in jail.

The Goldman family launched a legal bid to relieve Simpson of any money he makes from giving interviews following his release last week, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Lawyers acting for the Goldmans previously filed a motion in Santa Monica, California demanding the former NFL star disclose any attempts ‘to monetize himself’.
But the motion, which provoked a strong reaction from Simpson and his legal team, was withdrawn on Wednesday – although the Goldman’s team have asked for a discovery hearing on November 7.
It had previously been reported that Simpson had been hoping for a payday of up to $5m for the first interview with him as a free man.
Court papers seen by DailyMail.com show the Goldman family is ‘concerned that Mr. Simpson or others on his behalf are shopping a potential entertainment, interview, or similar platform through the media’.
While OJ’s attorneys have denied the claims, Goldman’s family said: ‘We take issue with this statement. Our prior experience with Mr Simpson over many years indicates the contrary, that in fact he or his advisors, agents, attorneys, family members, or surrogates, are “shopping” one or more entertainment, documentary, reality TV, or interview vehicles at this time.’
The legal filing adds: ‘Such an asset would be subject to enforcement, which would include any revenues arising therefrom or any asset constituting a business opportunity or the like.’
Simpson’s attorney said: ‘Mr Simpson has no desire to conduct any interviews with the media, and certainly has no desire to solicit an interview for monetary gain’.
Simpson became the first player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a single season back in 1973. After nine seasons with the Buffalo Bills, he retired after a two-year stint with his hometown San Francisco 49ers in 1979.
