And no one's batting an eyelid. After a long day at work, women just want to unwind, let their hair down, and indulge in a girl's night out. They have more money, to treat their clients or to buy themselves drinks. Women like to be acknowledged by the employees in the club. They like a lot of attention to be given to them.
Some women can hold even more alcohol than the men.
Susanne Ong, an entertainment writer, doesn't just check the latest pubs for work. With the guys, we'd go to noisy places with great music like Ta Jie or Orange in Mohamed Sultan Road, to hang out, drink beer, check out the good-looking people and dance the night away. But with her girlfriends, she expects a spirited evening with plenty of female bonding. We will choose quieter spots like hotel lounges and talk over sips of wine. We'll drink less, 'cos everyone's just holding their petite little wine glasses.
