Free beer? Ok

So this bar here in Taipei was having their 6.5 year anniversary party. An odd time to celebrate but a party nonetheless. Now I'm a guy who likes beer. I can't help it. I don't know why but I like it. I also enjoy things that are very cheap. I enjoy saving money. I don't know why it's just how I am. So I'm always looking out for good drink deals. Well I've been around a few bars and have seen some good drink deals. Most of them in Binghamton. The deals there included: 10 cent beer night....50 cent mug night....two beers for the price of one on Tuesdays....and a free buffet with the purchase of a 2 dollar drink. But nothing can compare to the drink deal I found last week...

For their 6.5 anniversary party, for whatever reason, this bar had an amazing drink deal....I'll give you time to sit down...Ready?
The deal was this: OPEN BAR from 7-10......... including Tequila, Stella, Guinness, mixed drinks, you name it. Plus a free buffet including pizza, hamburgers, sandwiches etc. The catch? Well you can only get all this if you wear a pink shirt. I know it seems strange, but this was the deal.
I actually had a pink shirt that I bought for my brother as a gag gift but was too lazy to send to him....so....I was in luck. Everyone (girls and guys) were wearing pink and it was three hours of FREE beeer!! I couldn't believe it. I just kept thinking about what this would be like back in NYC...I pictured lots of homeless dudes wearing a pink rag trying to get in to the bar to get some whiskey. I imagine any free beer night back in NY would included 1. a serious riot, 2. several injuries, 3. dozens of lawsuits 4. a chair through a window 5. dozens of arrests and 6. the bar goign out of business...

But here in Taipei, that's just how it is....Free BEER! The weirdest part was that the bar wasn't even that crowded...I was baffled. It was the first time I went to a bar and ended up leaving without spending a cent.....

hooray beer! Hooray free beer!!!
