Bars

[Bo Hart]

Bars suck ass. How do you go to a bar and not spend half your checking account? The bigtest problem is someone buys a round and then you have an obligation to buy a round again because if not you look like a dick head. So I bought a round. Overlal I spent like $60 tonight. That may not sound bad but going into the night I had like $100 in my checking. OK that's fine because I got my $1500 tax return but regardless that's way too much money.

In summary, screw the bars, screw girls who get drinks boughten but don't buy and screw the boys who start this round-buying [expletive].

By the way I think it's fine that girls don't buy drinks I just odn't think it's OK that boys like to buy rounds. Rounds are stupid.

Rounds are fine if you know that you are only going to buy once and it will cover you the rest of the night and get you drunk.

Let's say it's 3 guys and 3 girls, if you each have 6 drinks then you shouldn't have to pay for 18 drinks but rather buy for you and one girl, so you end up buying 12 drinks.

No. Bars rock. Especially good bars. Don't go to them if you know you're broke. It is man code that you take turns buying rounds for you and your buddies. It all evens out in the end. Yes, they are very expensive, but you know that before you go. Also, don't buy drinks for girls that you aren't into. You're old enough to tell the difference between a girl that is just trying to get a free drink and one that is genuinely interested in you.

I can't get out of a bar without spending less than $100 if I'm with friends. Between buying drinks for others and binge drinking mixed drinks I can rack up some pretty impressive (or depressing) bar tabs.

My most impressive bar tabs are free...

You can obviously tell who the bar rookies and bar veterans are in this thread.

Just give it time Kyle. Like anything, hard work and experience will pay off. Soon you'll be friends with a few bartenders around town, you'll be cutting deals with girls, you'll be getting free shots from people you don't even know...

Bars are wonderful.

If you go to the same bars a lot, eventually your tabs are like 40% of what you would normally spend.

Never buy a random girl a drink at a bar. Only buy drinks for girls if you know her already, or if you've interacted with her for over an hour. And if you offer to buy her a drink and she wants some foo-foo crap, pull your offer off the table. Life's too short to hang out with chicks who drink foo-foo drinks. Let her pink-and-purple wearing sorority sister buy her drink.

That's my big problem with bars, besides the constant cloud of cigarette smoke. I don't like them either.

I completely disapprove of this rant.
