    Default Who drinks at work?

    I don't think this has been done before so here goes. It seems like SO many people on SW don't drink at work.

    I will be the first to admit I drink at work. I don't get shitfaced, but I do get buzzed (PS, I get a ride to work). I do not use drugs or smoke pot before work.

    ETA: I appreciate everyone's honesty, so please no bashing on those who respond honestly!

    I used to drink at work, and drink a lot. I didn't need to drink to loosen up I did it out of habit. i was going thru some personal shit and getting drunk at work was not good. I remember one day I ordered some nachos and for some reason they couldn't make them. I cussed out the waitress and left in the middle of my shift.

    I stopped drinking in December, I must admit that working sober is not that bad. I remember everything!

    I do admit to having a couple of glasses of wine on my birthday this Tuesday.

    I have a drink or two just to get in the mood. Not that I "need" it, but I like to relax a bit and then I am fine.

    I use to drink at work. I (at times) would get hammered as you put it. I was also dealing with alot of stuff and didn't know another way to deal with it.

    My first few clubs didn't serve alcohol so I didn't drink. After I started working at clubs that had alcohol I had one or two drinks thinking it might help to get in the mood but discovered that I didn't need it. Now I only drink fake drinks or once in a blue moon when I work at a fancy pants club and a guy buys me a ridiculously expensive liquor I'd never afford myself, then I just have to try it

    None of your answers quite fit me, so I didn't select anything. I can work totally sober and do so most of the time. However, I have been known to get completely obliterated at work, either due to spending alot of time in VIP/Champange Room or from boredom on a slow or bad night.

    I didn't vote since I'm not actively dancing but if I were you could count me in the "decent buzz to hammered" category. Not that I would ever go out of my way to get sloshed but, eh, it's happened.

    I used to always drink at work. If I worked 10 shifts, I'd be anywhere from buzzed to borderline drunk 9 out of 10. Initially drinking helped me to loosen up but then it became a crutch and without it, my nerves were a mess.
    If you can dance without a few drinks, more power to you. I always envied the girls that could and did.

    Last time around, I would've checked the first box (or maybe the last..teehee ^_^), but ever since coming back to work, I've noticed I've been making a LOT more money as soon as I indulge. I never liked drinking at work and I still hate coming home with that tired and dizzy feeling, especially since I've been working day shift, but damn if a couple shots can't turn even the crappiest nights around, money-wise!

    Too many times lately I've seen money come in slowly, to very very quickly as soon as I start drinking to dismiss it. I made 700 bucks today without even realizing it until I got home! =D

    100% sober here.

    If I start, I won't stop until I am bowing down to the porcelain gods.

    So no. No drinkie for me.

    I used to drink, and if I go back, I probably will again.

    When I first started I drank one or two, in the middle I was shitfaced every night, by the end I was in control and would sometimes get a little buzzed, sometimes stay sober. I danced for 11 days on the damn mastercleanse diet which was surreal! Rarely took drugs. I hate coke and weed and stuff, took coke maybe twice in two years. Not worth it. It's so addictive, especially when you wanna stay up until 4 to bank. Better to rely on yourself and caffeine.

    I think since I've started, I've had maybe 3 drinks and never finished any of them. I don't care for alcohol and I definitely do not care for being that "relaxed" or whatever in front of people I'm not close with. Water is all I drink and all I want. I'll pretend to be drunk if it gets me out of having to drink--hell, I've been telling customers that I gave up alcohol for Lent if they try to press me into taking a shot with them. Just so not my thing.

    I drink at work, but I try not to overdo it. A few cocktails defintely helps me get into the club/party mood, but getting drunk causes me to lose money as well as not make any.
    People equate sexy with promiscuous. They think that because I'm shaped this way, I must be scandalous - like running around and bringing men into my hotel room. But it's just the opposite.

    I don't think there are enough responses to this poll. I voted 100% sober, but the reality is that although the vast majority of nights I don't drink anything, but occasionally i will order a lemon drop shot if a customer really demands I drink. SO I work 100% sober 95% of the time, and the other 5% percent of the time I work 95% sober! LOL

    I don't know how to answer the poll.

    I used to get drunk at work, and it ruined my hustle for a long time after I decided to quit.

    Nowadays I don't drink. Mostly because I don't want a ton of boozy calories and alcohol bloat. I also don't want to look older, and alcohol has a way of doing that to you. I almost always fake tipsy, though. It's so much easier to sell that way, especially late at night.

    If a customer really wants me to have a drink, I'll order a glass of wine, wine spritzer, martini, chambord or grand marnier on the rocks...something that's meant to be savored instead of tossed back. Then I only take a few sips (or pretend to be sipping it, lol.)

    I generally do a fast hustle though; I rarely sit and drink with custies on the floor. Sometimes that's my excuse when they offer a drink...I only drink in the CR.

    I drink at work and I'm guilty of being wasted more than once. I tend to get customers in VIP who just want to chat and pound shots. Sometimes I'm having fun so I just go with it and other times I dump my drinks on the floor if I think homeboy won't notice.

    To my credit though, I never drink and drive which is why I end up cabbing it most of the time. My boss teases me about leaving my car in the parking lot.
    Feel the fear and do it anyway.

    I didn't answer the poll as I oftentimes drink one or maybe two drinks max, but not to get in the mood. NEVER do I get drunk or do drugs.

    I started dancing in a no-alcohol juice club and when I moved to an alcohol sering bikini bar I would have a few drinks, especially if the customer was buying. Then I went to not drinking at all and did pretty well for a while.

    As of late, I usually will just have red bull and maybe a few nights I will have red wine or jager but will stop drinking alcohol after 2-3 drinks max. It sometimes help to put me in a sillier mood if the crowd seems to be all about partying, but I could really take it or leave it, in regards to alcohol.

    I do not want to be 'out of control' so I have rarely gotten completely wasted and stay away from any other substances at work. I have too long of a drive home to want to have to deal with being paranoid the whole ride that I'll be pulled over at 3am!!!!!!!
