Why Do Some Women Peel Labels Off Their Beer Bottles When At The Bar

I’m late to the party, but in college the story went that if you could peel the label off intact, you’d get laid that night. In a school with a nearly 4-1 ratio of men to women, you needed all the help you could get, magical thinking included.

Ever hopeful for any sign that some woman sitting at a bar is just itching for some man to come along and offer to have some kind of sex. Surely, surely it’s a cry from the unconscious! :rofl: I would peel the label off now and then, never knew I was mesmerizing men as if I was a mandrill in a zoo ‘presenting’. … really, white trash song lyrics notwithstanding, it’s something to do with your hands when sitting in a boring bar with sportsball on the tv.

Male here and I used to peel labels off beer bottles in bars all the time. Mind you in my youth I hung more in dive joints so I ONLY drank bottled beer.

As I got older I’ve hung around in a bit higher class drinking establishments and not as fearful of drinking my fav draught beer from a glass.

William? Billy? Mac? Buddy?

I take it I’m not alone?

Damn, I’m supposed to crush the CANS on my forehead? That will be a lot easier. Ignorance fought!

Which means it probably wasn’t the song from the original post. Because “One of Them Girls” only dates back to 2020, whereas the OP was from 2005.

So, a zombie resurrection, but also wrong.
