Australian bar's 'No Undie Sundie' stokes ire of authorities

An Australian hotel offering free drinks to women who took off their underwear is to be investigated by alcohol regulators, authorities say.

The Saint Hotel in Melbourne said women who hung their underwear above the bar on No Undie Sundie would receive A$50 ($39; £22) of drinks vouchers.



Women who flashed underwear at hotel staff would also get free drinks.

The director of Victoria state's alcohol licensing authority, Sue Maclellan, said the event - which had been scheduled for this weekend - "looks like an inappropriate liquor promotion. We will be investigating with a view to banning it."
