For those who love alcohol (and I do mean love), the 8th Annual Bartenders Ball is more than an event: It’s heaven. Inebriate yourselves (or just get damn-right plastered — but, no driving!) with an open bar of beers and top-shelf liquors. And you don’t have to worry about drinking on an empty stomach because a dinner buffet is provided. Proceeds from the event benefit Guys with Ties. Oh, and be sure you got your tickets in advance, because none will be sold on the day of the event. $70. 7 p.m.-12 a.m. The Blake Hotel, 555 S. McDowell St. www.charlottebartendersball.com or www.bandtastic.com.
