help with drinking at work!
At one of the clubs i work at its "full bar" and guys like to buy me drinks. (alch drinks) even when i try and refuse. To tell you the truth, they seem to take it badly if i refuse!
Now i was driving home last night and the lights were out due to hurricane frances, and i went through a light because i was unsure what to do. (and 2 cars in front of me did the same!!!)
I was stopped by a cop and given a citation because i didnt stop. But i was soooo afraid of a DUI!!! (2 glasses of wine, im a lightweight and i feel buzzed)
I am not one to drink and drive, but there has to be some way around this?
Should i ask the bartender to pour me fake wine?
what to do???????????
anyone ever been in a similar situation?

Re:help with drinking at work!
do shots. and keep a beer. have the beer empty. when you do the shot use the beer as a chaser and spit the shot into the empty beer they will never know you didnt drink it.

Good one Pazzo!!!!!
I always make my girls fake drinks if they asked me to. If you are good friends with the bartender, ask them to make you virgin drinks. Tell them before hand. Or bring a wierd drink (Mt. Dew grape stuff, kool-aid, ect..) in with you and tell the bartender to pour you drinks outta that all night. Order a "Kitana special" or whatever you want to call it. That way the guys aren't upset and you still don't get drunk.

Just tell the bartender to give you water rather than Vodka (or some other clear alchohol) then make sure and look like you are taking a shot (shivering afterwards helps). Just always ask for some clear booze, and take it from the coctail waitress before he can.
This is the advice i gave my kids mom ages ago. She used to be screaming drunk when i'd pick her up half the time. The hangovers took their toll and she was like "How the fuck can i hustle drinks without falling on my ass by the time i get home?" I was like "Water acting like clear booze or just have the Bartender splash it."

Re:help with drinking at work!
LOL But at the same time being able to down 25 shots of Jaeger in one night while still performing normal functions is not something to write home about!

well on average im good for about 10 drinks and 10 shots before i start thinking ugly women are beautiful lol
Tampa here is a thought. The strippers i use to know never had this problem. They all had DUI's already and just had thier boyfriends drive them everywhere. kinda got that out of the way first i guess. lol

Re:help with drinking at work!
well I bartend some nights at my club, and we all keep a little list of who is not drinking, or keep tabs on who is... for example only 2 real drinks per dancer, after that all your drinks will be fake no matter what.

Re:help with drinking at work!
Heart, wish you'd been bartending when i was with my kid's mom.

Re:help with drinking at work!
Just tell the bartender or drink girl to make you virgins all night and ask for them by a special name, "Can I have an Extra-Sexy Sex On The Beach, baby..." - thats what I have done in the past.
Of course, i like to have a few at work, throughout the night to keep me charming and upbeat - thats just me though.
But the nights Im driving, thats what I do. And if the customer asks what you asked for - just say, "Oh the Extra Sexy means lots of vodka!"
They usually buy dances after you start sipping your grenadine and soda! lol.

Good one. Thee Dollhouse of PA had a code which was when a girl asked for a drink with two cherries, it ment no alcohol (cherries.....virgin....get it.......Oh well, we thought we were a cleaver bunch anyway,lol). And to think, I clicked on this thinking you needed assistance with consumption.

Re:help with drinking at work!
Many clubs have ladies drinks with a code name...ask management, almost all will accomodate......

Re:help with drinking at work!
It just dumbfounds me that a customer would have an issue with you not wanting an alcoholic drink.
-
Re:help with drinking at work!
Oh yeah, on another site a girl was saying she'd had a customer take a sip of her drink without asking and then whining because it didn't have alcohol - after that instead of virgin drinks she'd ask for splashed ones.
I've had customers tell me, as I'm 19 and it really shouldn't be an issue:
"Oh, don't worry, I'll just go to the bar and get you a shot, the bartender won't mind"
"Well, just so you know, if I could I WOULD buy you a real drink."
"Man, this sucks, I can't even buy you a drink."
-
Re:help with drinking at work!
I've used the fake drink game in the past, but have since found it's easier to simply order a soda or water when the waitress comes around and he's offered. If he says something, I just say "oh yeah I've already had a couple and gotta pace myself, don't wanna accidentally kick somebody with these huge shoes!" They always agree. :biggrin:

Re:help with drinking at work!
Another idea, if your bar makes them, if drinking virgin strawberry daquries. I have done this many times and the customers don't seem to notice. Also if they have it you could ask for whipped cream on the top and use your tongue to like it off. This seems to keep the guys' minds off what is in your drinks and on what is on top of them!
-
Re:help with drinking at work!
Just order a 'house' drink. Make arangements with the management/waitresses/bartenders so that when you order this, instead of say a Vodka Cranberry, she brings you a Cranberry.
There are MANY ways of ordering non-alcoholic drinks where the customer doesn't know- for instance, at my old club, our non-alcoholic drink was interestingly named a 'tight snatch'- pretty funny.

Re:help with drinking at work!
I like some of the more straightforward tricks mentioned.
But just in case you are found out....
"Thanks, but I'm just about over my limit for the night. And there's still more night to go."
-or-
"You know those radiologists always step behind the lead shield so they don't accumulate radiation poisoning."
-or-
"Alcohol constricts my veins and I get a terrible headache."

wow, sure sounds good to me, and i'll ask!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have used every excuse in the book not to drink, and it doesn't work as well as excepting.. Ive thrown pj in plants, dumped it "accidently" ran to the bathroom, everything imaginable!!
Guys simply like it better when you except a alch. drink :(
Ive done the virgin drink thing as well, but they always seem to catch on, especially regulars who are very familiar with the "CODE NAMES"
But it comes down to this. I drive to work, and back,... and its not worth being scared. No more drinks for me! It be so much easier if i wasn't a freaking LIGHTWEIGHT!!!
-
Re:help with drinking at work!
Its fun to get wasted with hot naked girls...if your not into it or can't handle the drinking please just tell me so I can find the dancer in the club who does. I'd be upset paying for a drink and having the girl pretend like she tipsy.
-
Re:help with drinking at work!
i still think your best bet is my " spit it in the beer bottle" just act like you are using the beer for a chaser. i would practice it a few times at home so you make it look like you are drinking it not spitting in the bottle.
women are good at faking anyway LOL
-
Re:help with drinking at work!
Two things, #1: the code name has worked for me many of times, "hurricane" was the code name at one club, hurricane margarita, etc...#2: I've had guys order me drinks all night and I drive myself, when I feel the buzz coming and they won't stop ordering or get upset when you say no thank you, I take my drink with me into the dressing room or bathroom and keep pouring out small amounts into the garbage/toilet...just remember to keep it realistic.

another good idea, but dancers are not allowed to be seen with beer at the club i work at.

Re:help with drinking at work!
get some vitamin water. its usually colored and some come in colored bottles. take the shot in your mouth then take water like a chaser. mix the shot and water in your mouth and then spit it back into the bottle. When you are done walk off with the bottle and spill it out.

Re:help with drinking at work!
I never drink at work yet I am required to accept a drink if someone offers....
I either order a clear drink and pass it off as vodka and soda or bring Gatorade with me and pour it in a wine glass and pass it off as cheap wine...
if I have a customer who is one of those suspicious types then I order a light real drink and "get ready" alot in order to pour it out....hehe...
