Defining the Drink

In my travels to bars near and far there seems to be a huge misunderstanding about why a gentleman might buy a lady he doesn't know a beverage at an alcohol serving establishment. Many a man will verbally discharge, "I purchased a drink for that fair young lass and then she didn't engage in intellectually stimulating conversation with me! I'm now perturbed." Other sometimes they even state, "I procured drinks all evening for that gentle-lady and she didn't reciprocate with sexual intercourse. How very inconsiderate of her."

The drink is not a purchasing tool. When you go to a dinner party and bring a bottle of wine do you expect sexual favors from the hosts and other guests? If you do I'd like to mention that the 70s are over, so keep those car keys in your pocket.

We've all been taught since we're 5 that we should not talk to strangers. They'll kidnap us, put is in a van, and next thing you know all we remember is that our first name is Steven. This is why you buy a woman a drink. The drink symbolizes peace and good intentions. She does not know you, so you need to let her know that you mean her no harm. It's hard to strangle someone when you have a wallet in one hand and a greenback in the other. "Yes, Rachael but we shouldn't take candy from strangers." That is why you send this token- this small gift-this symbol that you don't want to kill her via a neutral third party such as the bartender. In this way you may just get a chance to speak to a young maiden without any pepper in the eyes or tasers to the ribs. That is of course if she finds she has the time and energy to partake in conversing with a stranger.

"Yeah, that's great but I bought her drinks all night and no sex." Is that really why you continued to buy her drinks? Upon further reflection you might find a different answer. Perhaps during your conversation you discovered you both work in bio-chemical research. Can you say, ”kismet?" But then you also learned that you, the male make 30% more for the same job. Did that not blow your high IQ mind? Seeing the lack of logic in the situation you decided to do a little redistribution of wealth. Not that you are a Marxists. Not at all. You are a young-blooded, All-American, capitalist bio-chemical researcher. But it's a Friday night. You want to see how the other half lives, so you buy drinks for someone who makes less money than you. You wild and crazy guy you.

If it turns out she makes more money than you stop the conversation right there. You're a man! Do you really want to be with a woman whose mere existence castrates you? Exactly.

--------
Two notes:
1) If you buy a woman too many drinks she'll be too dizzy to even kiss you never mind take you home.
2) Prostitutes cost more than $6 plus tip.
