Dubai bar offers free drinks to women depending on their weight

A bar in Dubai introduced an unusual promotional offer of free drinks to women based on their weight. Fusion Club, at the Cassells Al Barsha Hotel, came up with the idea to offer more drinks to women who weigh more. The club has placed a weighing machine at the door, with the slogan “It’s good to gain weight”, where women must weigh themselves or write their weight on a piece of paper and give it to the staff.

An exhaustive list of drinks

The offer says that each kilogram will be equivalent to drink worth one United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED), which means women weighing 50 kilograms will get free drinks of worth 50 AED or about Rs 1000. Under this offer, there is no limit on the range of drinks so women can choose any drink they like. Talking to a British Daily, vice president of the Fusion bar said that their motive was to standout among the nightclubs and hotels and wanted women surprising their partners and friends with the message that it’s good to gain weight.

Body positivity or encouragement to an unhealthy lifestyle?
