[Tail Gunner]

This scam has been discussed in many other threads. But I am not sure why no one in this thread has discussed the obvious solution (aside from screening the women more carefully): Every time you enter a new bar always ask to see a written drink menu that lists the prices of all drinks. If the bar does not have one, then walk away (unless the prices are clearly identified verbally). Be especially wary of a woman ordering an entire bottle of wine or champagne. This is where the huge ripoffs occur.
