"Every month, No Idea posts a calendar on their website with a new name featured each day. If the name happens to be yours, you're entitled to suck down as many drinks as you please from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.—completely free." You'd better come thirsty, the drinks are served in pint glasses.

Don't show up alone, the site clearly says so:

“The evolved human takes Name Night as an opportunity to arrive with friends and tip the bartender. The less erect think they actually deserve this and show up alone. You will not be eligible to receive free drinks if you show up alone.”

Happy Drinking! Save me some!
