Re: drinking alcohol on cam
I drink one or two beers on cam almost every single day and have for four years. I never make a big deal out of it, or get drunk. I dunno...of course there is a bias towards top performers, but what can you do? I choose to be careful about it, but yeah, it's breaking a rule.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
Pretty sure you can drink on SM. I asked before and they said as long as you take off the label and don't promote alcohol on cam it's ok.

Take off the label? Pretty sure that if you haven't opted in for TV shows you can show labels.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
I don't drink, don't know how to and I like to keep it that way. I don't support or encourage girls drinking while working. However, I am not judging if one chooses to!
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
If I drink on cam, it's in a glass, so no one knows what's in it. If I have more than a drink or two, I start getting lazy and unmotivated. So I buy tiny airplane bottles for when I cam.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
Previously on SM it said something about not being intoxicated with alcohol on cam, which makes sense. I'm so sad about the not drinking thing. I keep putting off my "21st birthday" until i'm consistent on cam and have a better placement... guess it's not in my cards now. Maybe i'll just stay 20 until they change the rule someday lol.

Just alcohol labels? Not labels on anything else? I'm confused now, and wish this was in the manual/code of conduct if it's against the rules.

THIS is why I drink on cam. I always make more money when I'm the happy friendly drunk with all the patience in the world and am much better at shooting the shit with the kindergarteners all day. I've drank and smoked weed on both SM and MFC , both in clear vision of the camera and on the side of it for a quick swig or hit. On MFC anyone can and will do it without consequence. For SM I'm not sure but I've seen the top girls do it and was able to do it myself many many times and I wasnt a top earner just really really incredibly good looking in the words of Zoolander
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
The SM rule on alcohol is relatively new, as well as the one saying there should be no animals in sight at any moment (I personally break that one really often because my cat's a spoiled little brat and if he isn't let somewhere he can be seen then OH he will be heard - which is even worse because his meowing is very imitative of human speech and I've had people mistake him for a baby or a drunken woman trying to speak). STreamray/cams.com has had it for ages.
I don't drink on cam, anyway, because a bottle of beer or a glass of wine switches me into the "fuck this shit I'm logging off and watching cartoons" mood. TOtally counter-productive for me - even if it gets the guys more playful.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
The no-alcohol has been the rule for at least a year (as long as I've been on SM). I don't drink on cam but I sure pretend to, at least on weekends.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
I wish a lot of things were in the manual, its always confusing and everyone gets a different answer

Re: drinking alcohol on cam
Jane is right. SM should be more clear on this subject. It's one of those things where as you read between the lines, or fine print and do what you want with it. The manual states "under the influence." It doesn't say "no drinking of alcohol allowed" So what does that tell you? I think it leaves it up to you? I don't know either? I agree with other posts here, I think they just want to discourage drunkenness on cam. Lean on the side of discretion I say.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
I had the guys tip me to drink from a water filled tequila bottle on MFC recently, and drank two beers in my entire session. Worked like a charm. Just enough to feel happy, and could fake the rest of the tipsy without losing control. I got drunk once, when I first started, and never again. LOL.
I don't do the water tequila every time, though, and I don't drink every time either. The guys think I'll be more rule bendy but nono.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
I drink on SM all the time. I didn't know it was against the rules. It wasn't when I first started. I love having a glass of wine or a vodka and pineapple juice on cam. I make a lot more money when I'm chatty and alcohol makes me chatty lol.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
I always knew it was against the rules but I LOVE MY WINE SO... Oh how I miss having a glass. A glass a day kept the bitch away :)
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
well no, I don't think it's against the rules to drink alcohol.
The manual states: no performing "while under the influence". (may not be exact quotes but close enough)
it does not state "no model/performer can drink alcohol while camming/streaming." or "no drinking alcohol while streaming"
Sounds like they just don't want you openly drunk while streaming.
Which is pretty unattractive. LOL
It takes 3 drinks to get me buzzed. So bottoms up!
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
I don't drink on cam on a regular basis anymore, because I found I was relying on the alcohol during my shows.
I also don't agree with filling a vodka bottle with water and "pretending" to do vodka shots. Honesty is the best policy with me, and I don't like the idea of lying to make money. Plus, that is bad karma.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
It says...

7. Not Under Influence Of Alcohol Or Illegal Drugs.
While giving any performance or taking any other action related to this Agreement, Performer/Studio shall not be under the influence of alcohol or any illegal drug or controlled substance.
Re: drinking alcohol on cam
I hate this rule because I LOVE camming while drunk! It is what it is, no drinking on sm... I still do it.. I'm the chipper slutty girl when I drink so it works to my advantage. I usually ask the guys if they would like to have there way with the silly drunk girl.
