No such thing as free beer? Think again!

OK..OK! We have heard this cliche phrase many times - "There is no such thing as free lunch" or, mostly in a guys' world, "There is no such thing as free beer!". Well, my friends! think again. I won not only free beer, but free drinks for a couple of hours! In other words, I won a happy hour in one of the DC bars! Story?, you might ask. Here it is...

A month or so ago, a friend of mine won this happy hour and invited all of us to join her. We joined her and while in the bar, the waitress asked us if we would like to sign up for the "sweepstakes" so that we can win a happy hour just like our dear little friend. I laughed out loud, and asked her if it is a "scheme" to sell our personal information. She assured me that it will be used only for drawing a winner. I signed up jokingly.

Well, about a week ago, I got an email saying I won the happy hour! I get free drinks, and my friends get their drinks for $1 each. Not a bad way to get together and celebrate the beginning of the new year, eh?! : )

Disclaimer: Of course, I will be drinking in moderation, and I suggest you do so too! : )
