I pretty much stay home and do my drinking there. I was amazed years ago to realize I could navigate in high stiletto heels while drinking and get by quite nicely. Only problem with full dressing is you just about have to fully undress to use the bathroom. But I agree about wasting money at the bar.
WC Fields once woke up and found himself $20 dollars short. He called the bartender and asked if he had seen him the night before and if he had that twenty with him. The bartender said yes and that he'd spent the whole bill at the bar. Fields gave a "whew" in glad response and said he was glad he didn't lose the money instead.
