What do we think, ladies: do bartenders -- consciously or otherwise -- give stronger drinks to attractive women to liven up a place? I'm not suggesting it's a widespread conspiracy, but it seems strangely reasonable to endrunken part of the clientele to attract customers, and create the impression that the place is really fun, thereby encouraging more drink-buying.
Mr. Lady PerriWhig stated that this is a well-known strategy, although he did not go so far as to attribute it as the cause of my recent...experience. I will say, however, those were some strong G&T's.
It goes without saying, I think, that if this is true, it borders on evil. I suppose it serves women/me right, though: nice girls don't go to bars and get shit-faced.
I would say, yes, that is a general strategy. Which I am all for because I am an alcoholic.
ReplyDeleteBut in case of the IRL Babylon we found ourselves in, they would be giving the strong drinks to the hot boys to liven up the place, given that all the bartenders and most of the patrons seemed to prefer hot boys. I think they were just pouring everything with a lead hand for everyone.
