I'm looking to make a list of North American bars that give out free
drinks in trade for AA medallions.
In many cases, the drinks cost more than the medallions, so it never
hurts to buy all the medallions sold on ebay, to trade for drinks.
Besides that, it's always fun to take all the guys from your local AA
group to the bar and unload all their medallions. I'm sure you know by
now that all those AA medallions being sold on ebay are being sold by
bartenders, who accepted them for drinks.
Someday AA medallions might replace currency in bars, and those with the
most medallions will be the winners when it comes to getting drunk.
They may even become more popular than "Bar chips".
If you know of any bars in the U.S. Canada, or Mexico that accept AA
medallions, please post their name, location, and any other information
about the bar, below.

Would any of you, when actively drinking, have gone to an AA meeting
solely for the purpose of picking up a "free drink" chip?
One one hand, I would have avoided AA like the devil avoids holy water.
On the other hand, when I was out of cash there wasn't much I wouldn't
do for a drink.

I was lucky. My local bar let the regulars keep tabs. I didn't need to

Allowed or not, I didn't drink in bars either. For the cost of a bar

Mary, you're replying to a post that's over two and a half
years old. While what you say of Charlie may possibly
contain a kernel of truth, I'm sure he's mellowed recently.

Actually, I have no recollection of that post, but the snippet above is
obviously taken out of context. And whatever the context /was/, my
smiley tells me we were joking around.

are welcome to do for yourselves).
It was strictly a metaphorical conversation in which Bob equated having
only one drink to having foreplay without sex. And my reply meant that
an alcoholic would take the first drink and worry about the second drink
later, just as a horny guy would take an opportunity to engage in
foreplay without knowing whether or not it was actually going to end in sex.
There is nothing at all in my statement suggesting force or coercion. My
use of "if you've got the opportunity" was a reference to a willing
participant.
But fuck you anyway, marysharp, for jumping to ignorant conclusions.

They're not necessarily mutually exclusive. Some people live double lives...
