I have one drink when I work. Usually towards the middle of my shift.
Every other drink I order is good ol' fashioned water, & I keep a bottle of Gatorade in my bag. Water is soooooooo refreshing when I get off stage or come out of the dance area. I LOVE WATER. It is perfection. It's all I ever drink. Unless I'm out with friends I'll also just have one drink. Anywho if i start craving something sweet @ work, or need a little burst of energy I drink some of my Gatorade.
But water is power! Aquafina!
haha.
I love water.

This isn't referring to drinking at work but just in general. Whats the point of having one drink? I can't even feel one drink, I'd rather save the calories.
Maybe it's because most of yall are so small? I need at least three to even get the slightest hint of a buzz....

I like to have maybe 2-3 drinks at work just to relax. I get a little social anxiety sometimes and having a drink or two makes it easier to take to customers when I really don't want to. I have never been super smashed at work.

depends on what I'm drinking...and more importantly, how often I drink. When I haven't had a drink in weeks/months, it only takes one to get me really tipsy. If I've been drinking regularly, it can take...well, a lot more to get any effect at all. /:O Also, I only do martinis or straight shots of vodka if I drink, which is more potent than some fruity drink that's mostly juice or soda.
One dirty martini or appletini usually does me good when I want to get tipsy. The trick is not drinking regularly, so you don't build up a tolerance.

I like wine b/c it tastes good. If I have one vodka and soda I can feel it too , and im not small.

Whenever there are polls or threads about this I'm amazed at the high amount of non-drinkers and even responsible drinkers. Because in my area, it seems like getting good and drunk is pretty much the norm. I mean, I'm one of the lightest drinkers at my club and in general I am completely sober for about half of my shifts and get slightly tipsy for around half. I don't know any of-age strippers who do the job completely sober. Hell, its been like 9 months since I've met a minor who wasn't sneaking drinks on shift.
There is pretty much always at least one dancer who is drunk enough to make customers and other dancers uncomfortable.
Its kind of funny to me that one of the only other light drinkers at my club is also a member here.
I wonder if its my area. Any other Oregon girls care to chime in? I know most of you are in Portland, so it might be different.
Nope, just up here is like that too. If it's slow a lot of girls will even buy their own drinks :O What a waste of money!
Most cut themselves off at a reasonable time (I do when I'm fairly tipsy or a couple hours before my shift is over) but, yeah. Drinking is pretty popular here!

I voted that I drink to deal with the assholes. I drink every night I work. It's probably mainly out of habit now.

I rarely drink anymore while working ~ and never hard stuff (vodka, etc) just a glass or two of wine or champagne. Being out of control and hungover isn't worth it anymore.

I chose tipsy, and by that I mean I generally have maybe 4 glasses of champagne or 4 cocktails in a shift. Honestly, i'm from Wisconsin we just like to drink here. It doesn't really have to do anything with being at work lol. In fact I'm having a glass of wine RIGHT NOW.

when i first started i drank to get rid of nerves but then i started to feel unhealthy drinking so much (i drink a lot outside of work) so i just completely stopped...but to be honest if i didn't work in a juice bar, i'd probably have a couple drinks. there's a handful of girls who sneak alcohol in...but there are more girls that get stoned than drunk at my club.

I do get drunk quite often INC and OTC. Idk if it's just because I like it or if there is something deeper going on.
Me and vodka are like this *crosses finger* but she is a tricky bitch.
I like to think I've figured out how much I can drink and not act like an idiot. It hasn't seem to hurt my money, and sometimes it helps since I have trouble being "sexy." Drinking helps me cut loose, though I prpbably shouldn't drinkas much as I do for healthy reasons (about every other day whether I'm working or not.)
I love it though, and I'm not ready to put the bottle down yet. However, I don't let it interfere with life.

I drink so much, that the other day I saw my liver walking down the road carrying a stick with a sack tied to the end of it.
I'm serious.
Call me boring, but I don't drink a lick at work. Some girls need a cocktail or two to loosen up to the crowd, but I never found that necessary. The most I'll have is some bottled water and sparingly at that...

A lot of people drink at my work (they 'try' to hide it) even though we don't serve alcohol. I NEVER drink at work. I only drink once a month or so anyway. Not really my thing.

SOOOO, FUNNY! At least she admitted it! I started this poll hoping that people would be honest because I see it all. I travel from WA- ME and MN-TX. Most of the clubs that I go to I see more drunk girls than sober.
I too am amazed at how many non drinkers are here. HOWEVER, those of us on SW happen to have a little more biz sense than those girls that "only go to work for the free drinks"! I mean, that's why we are here- right? To network and learn!
CONGRATS to all the responsible ladies out there! Keep it up and we may just turn this industry around!;D

I get really tired when I drink, so I don't like to drink often

I just drink to get the night started. Sometimes I drink in Vip though. Smetimes I drink when it's slow. We can't smoke anymore. We do have a limit on how many drinks we are allowed.
