Ladies Drink Free


            A girl has all of her necessities in her purse. Lip-gloss, car keys, gum, phone, and her wallet with the credit card that she won’t be using tonight. It has been announced that “Ladies Drink Free”. Just like The Golden Corral, it’s an unlimited buffet! You take advantage of this opportunity and stuff yourself until you feel uncomfortable and have to unbutton your jeans since you just went up a few dress sizes. Or in this case until you can’t remember how the hell you woke up in the bathtub naked, with a stench of puke and cigarettes on your skin, and telling yourself that you won’t ever drink again.

            The bar or club promoting this exciting opportunity attracts girls from all over town! And you know what they say, wherever the women go, the men will follow. That’s how much power women have over men. Yet the girls come easy and forget that we can actually run their lives. And with alcohol taking over the brain, irrational decisions are going to be made. Of course the bar could care less about what happens to you at the end of the night. They don’t give a crap if the guy that bought you the drink put something in it and took you home for the night as their “Rape Date” without your consent. Or driving home at 3 in the morning and barely making it out alive in the massive car crash that you just caused from drunk driving. Making that irrational decision of unprotected sex that could give you an unwanted STD or putting you through 9 months weight gain.

But you are just having so much freaking fun! All of your problems have gone away! You can’t stop dancing to the music being blown through the speakers! It kind of feels as if the bass is in your veins and you can’t control yourself. It’s an emotional orgasm and soon you are going to explode. So when the sun comes up, and your high is low, everything is just as it was the day before. You are just now starting to realize that you lost your coach bag and you have no way of getting inside your house. You have to go through the hassle of canceling your credit cards, replacing your phone, getting a new set of keys made, and most likely going to the DMV and waiting hours just to replace your driver’s license so you can drink for free again next week.

This isn’t to tell you to not get pretty to go out with your girlfriends, and dance the night away to top 40 in your high heels that is cutting the circulation to your toes. Responsibility is the last of our worries on the nights like these. We can only really worry about ourselves since your girlfriend is at the bar talking to the hottie with massive biceps. It is possible to have your cosmopolitan and drink it too, just not past 2 of them. You might wake up with a new unwanted tattoo, a big dent on your car, or you might misplace those $60 that you are never going to see again. And as for the bar, just as long as they have sold their drinks to the men, and kept their place as the hot spot, they are going to keep making the announcement every Thursday night.
