A Karaoke bar in Bangkok is giving away free whiskey to parties of four who weigh more than 794 lbs. While this may drum up business in Thailand, you'd face bankruptcy here in the US. I knew that Thai people were generally smaller than us, but I didn't know how small. 794 lbs for 4 people is less than 200 lbs each.
In the US, you'd not only be hard pressed to find 4 guys under 800 lbs, you'd have to check everyone for rocks in their pockets. And do you really want the sort of clientele that would be attracted by free booze? Go to a Wal-Mart or Nascar race sometime and you'll find out.
