Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
For me, I drank a LOT when I was new, and now it's getting so much better.
Has anyone experienced the opposite, like coming into it with fresh willpower, and then just like, giving in as time goes by?
Would you say you drank more as a newbie or more now?
This might seem asinine, but I think it's important.
:D
P.S. I know a lot of women do not drink at all, which is GREAT but please don't feel the urge to respond to this thread with that, this is obviously not for you! Just sayin', cuz I see that a lot, that's all....

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
When I was new, I drank more, but I was in a party girl stage in my life. I didnt get drunk at work every night, but I definatly drank more than I do now. Now, I never, ever get drunk at work, and I usually dont drink at all. Well, I have 1 drink a night. I refuse to be like the girls I see, spending their nights puking in the bathroom, falling over on stage, and making ases out of themselves. They say they cant work unless their are tipsy, but really..they cant work WHEn their tipsy. I guess you just gotta know when to stop if you decide to drik at work. This is a problem of mine. When I start drinking, I dont know when to stop, and i usually end up getting completly falling over ripped. Thats fine when Im out to party, I dont ever drive, so it dont matter, but at work, You there to work, not party.

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I never drink at work- a bottle of water will do me fine.

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I can't drink (not 21) but when I'm 21 I might have a drink or two but I would never want to work tipsy.

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I do drink more now. Back when I first started I started at a very small stage dancing club where they gave you 2 free drinks. All right! Then eventually they cut it down to one free drink. Sigh! Then i started working at places where you actually had to hustle and part of that is just getting offered drinks more frequently. I rarely get drunk drunk except in rare circumstances but part of that is my alcohol tolerance. Every now and then I will do my shift totally with no alcohol, though.

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I drank more new. Now, it's bottled water or dummy drinks. I'm sober though, so of course I drank more before.
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I rarely drink at work. When I do I say I drink more now..simply because my first club was a juice bar lol.

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
Wanted to add on my best nights it seems like I don't have time for alcohol at all because I'm too busy doing dances! I'll usually accept an alcoholic drink if the person I'm with is drinking one too and offers me one... or just bitters & soda or a soda if they're also not drinking booze. It's variable depending on how often drink offers are made in a night I suppose. Of course I've been guilty of drinking a bit more heavily in situations where I'm getting paid a lot to sit around with a guy and drink for the company of a beautiful woman drinking.

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
Neither. I was over the whole Drink Tons thing by the time I started dancing. I never liked dancing in heels while tanked either. Ugh. So I'm a 2 or 3 drink girl, if that.
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I drank for the first month or two if I was offered drinks by customers. I drank a little too much one night because it was so slow and ended up crying in the dressing room because I made no money. I went completely sober at work after that!
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
Is this drinking at work or drinking in general? I hardly ever drink at work but on my own time, it's another story. ;)
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
It gives me a break from reality, a reality I never knew when I was a newbie...
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
Um there wasn't an option for "never really was a drinker in the first place".
I didn't drink when I was a newb and I don't drink now. I work mainly sober and only have a drink if I am booked for long lengths of time and/or the customer has purchased a high priced lap dance from me.
Even then I will only drink the drink some before dumping it someway.

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I'm still relatively new, goin on a month here, but it became apparent IMMEDIATELY to me that drinkin unchecked was a bad idea- my first few nights I always said yes when custies offered and knocked em back pretty quick, n altho thankfully I didn't get trashed/sick I did get very tipsy to the point it was detrimental. So now I pace myself- I try to still say yes whenever offered, but I sip slow and always with water, try to drink 2 waters for every drink. Has worked so far.
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I overdid it as a newbie. Then again, I was an alcoholic. Now I rarely ever drink, and if I do at work it's only one or two. I just don't have any interest getting tipsy there and it fucks with my hustle. I know I could have made a lot more money before.

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I never drank as a newbie. Then again, I wasn't quite 21...
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
i rarely drank when i started.
when i started dancing at a club with more contact and lazy bouncers who think they're pimps and not security, i started drinking a lot more. i've never been completely wasted at work...but i'm not really that happy with the fact that i've got a strong buzz 4-5 days a week now

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I drink more now.... not much at work (like 1 or 2 drinks on occasion), but more than I used to. (outside of work is a whole different story however... heh) :beer:

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I drunk a LOT when I was new, but then my first club was in Japan and I was making killer commission on drinks. Nowadays it's two wines maximum.
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I started at 18 and was a very, very well-behaved minor and maybe only had three drinks ever at the club, total, before I turned 21. Between 22 and 26 I was drunk pretty much 80% of the nights I worked and 100% of the time when I went out. Then I quit drinking completely after a super-scary blackout and have been dry ever since.
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I drink about the same now as then.
-
Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I drink more now; however, I drink smarter. When I was new, I was a "lap sitter" hanging out with the custies on the main floor because they would buy me a drink (versus a dance). Now, with the exception of my "warm-up" cocktail at the bar, I will only sit and chat with a customer if it's over a bottle of overpriced Champagne in the VIP area.

Re: Drinking Poll: More New Or More Now?
I never drank to cope with work, but I drank because it was available and customers would often get angry if I didn't accept their offers. Then I moved onto a no-alcohol club and almost never drank. So, I definitely drank more in the beginning.
