Once word of this gets out in their hometowns.
Whatever the merits, you're not getting any of you are whining that women are getting half-priced drinks and you're not...trust me.
'Ladies' Night' Lawsuits on the Rocks?
The Age-Old Tradition Is Threatened by Lawsuits Nationwide

Lawsuits could be putting "Ladies' Nights" at bars and clubs across the country on the rocks.
In about two dozen cases, plaintiffs contend these drink and admission deals for women constitute discrimination against men and should be banned.
Roy Den Hollander is a New York lawyer who says Ladies' Night drinks and admission specials are unconstitutional, and he says he's suffered personally. Hollander is also a graduate of Columbia Business School and seems like a guy who should be able to get into a decent bar and afford the drinks. So what irks him?
"I'm tired of having my rights violated and being treated as a second-class citizen," said Hollander, who is seeking class-action status for his suit in federal court.
Tim Gleason, general manager of the China Club in New York, calls Hollander's complaint "pathetic" and echoes other club owners who argue that the discounts actually help both sexes by balancing out the ratio between men and women. Nevermind that some men are more than happy to pay for inequality in the ratio department.
