Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 days agoI think the men were called “loadies”, getting loaded (drunk) before going home. Women got the much less forgiving name of being a “barfly.” However, that may have just been regional and/or for that era.

when I heard barflys it was always men who hung out every night in a bar.

Never heard of loadies but barfly was always a term used for women around me.
