Ladies who eat, drink and swear!

Welcome to Ladies Who Eat, Drink, and Swear! This group was founded by 3 organizers because we wanted to meet ladies like us, i.e., down-to-earth ladies who won't judge for chowing down on greasy food, drinking too much, and dropping F bombs. The group transitioned to the current leadership a few years because we loved the community.

Women (by birth or identify) of all ages are welcome whether you're 65 or 25!

A few rules, because ya know, some just don't know how to act.

1. Do not RSVP to events if you only have a casual interest. Only RSVP if you are genuinely planning to attend. Life happens and plans change. Remember to update your RSVP in a timely manner if you can’t attend. Do understand that for some events restaurants are booked and for some events, hosts arrive early to grab a large table. In every scenario, the event host requires an exact head count. By not showing up, not only you take the spot of someone in the waitlist but you also waste a table space in the restaurant for which the host might be fined by the restaurant. In casual settings, when you are a no-show, the host spends the entire time looking for you, instead of partaking in her event. We are tracking attendance in a rolling 6 month period of time. Cancellation within 48 hours prior to the start of the event will receive .5 points. A no show is 1 point. Earning 3 points is grounds for removal from the group.

2. Even when you attend an event at a counter restaurant, you are required to order something. Do understand that table service restaurants issue a single check for the entire table. Splitting the check by running eight different credit cards on a table is extremely difficult for the staff. Plan to bring cash or pay via Venmo to the event host. And don’t hurry or fling your cash at the host while the host is splitting the check. Remember that hosts aren’t getting paid to organize events and aren't at your beck and call.

3. Remember, waitstaff have to work harder to accommodate a large group. Have patience and be courteous. Don't be an asshole by skimming on the gratuity.

4. This is a social group. Don’t peddle your services or products.

5. Event hosts are not paid positions. We are all volunteers and like you, we do this because we want to get out and have fun. Sometimes events don’t go as planned and we need to be flexible. Please be courteous!

6. I want to make this a fun environment!  Feel free to make connections with others. The point of this is to develop friendships and you will do that by reaching out to individuals! After you meet someone, by all means, ask for their contact info and connect with them. But note, this is after you meet them in real life. Please don’t message people who you haven’t met in person.

7. Not everyone will get along with everyone, but we are adults and can be civil . We aren't in high school. No Drama Llama!!!

8. Lastly, have fun! That is the point of this group. Get out of the house and do exciting things and make wonderful friends!!!

And If you have ideas for activities, please let me know. Fresh ideas are always welcome!!!

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Thank you,
Jill, Marisa, Phing, and Sheena
