Where to Drink Free Almost Every Night of the Week in South Florida (if You're a Lady)

Throughout history, women have suffered their share of struggles. So it seems only fair we get some recompense, right? A limited selection of free-flowing alcohol during a designated window of time on select days of the week seems paltry — but hey, we're taking what we can.

Besides, bar and club owners have long known the benefits of giving out free drinks to half their clientele. Ladies' nights are alive and well in Broward and Palm Beach counties, and there are plenty of places for women to imbibe here most nights of the week.
