    Duh I hate drinking at work!!!

    UGH. I'm sitting here hungover as hell and I know what needs to be done but it's so hard to not drink at work. I've heard everything people have to say on the matter, about "well if you can't do it sober you shouldn't do it at all." I get that. It's not that I "can't" do it sober, b/c I have and I still made money. It's just really difficult. When I'm at work and I have a decent buzz going I'm more friendly, I make more, and time flies. When I'm there sober I am miserable. When I'm wasted I'm a mess...

    I just feel like if I wasn't a dancer I wouldn't drink so much. I feel like crap the next day and I don't go to work, I act like a dumbass when I drink too much, it's embarassing, etc... yet I always make this same mistake.

    Not really looking for advice here b/c it's obvious what I need to do, stop drinking. But just wanted to vent and see if anyone else feels me on this.

    100% feel you on this. Maybe try switching to wine instead of liquor and keeping a smart water in your locker to help fight the dehydration that causes the hangover. And always eat dinner or a late snack !

    I feel you totally. If you know deep inside that you have to cut down or stop, then you're over the first hurdle. I'm long-term clean and sober now, after nearly 3 decades of binge drinking - so I'm with you all the way on this. If you REALLY want to stop it, you will.

    *hugs*

    Drinking at work sounds awesome! It'll be easy for me to resist temptation when I get a job at a club since I'm underage, but it will suck watching other people drink and have fun while I can't. I turn 21 next year; so close yet so far.

    At my regular club drinking is encouraged. The girls get open bar and commission on drinks from customers. It took a few strip trips to other places to realise I don't enjoy drinking at work, and I'm currently working at a club where drinking is discouraged. I get up and see the day now

    Drinking is encouraged here. It is impossible. I've told the bar 'no alcohol!' so many times and then when I order a jagerbomb(more money) they end up bringing me, ironically, a jagerbomb. I'll try the code thing too. I'll say 'I want the drink I brought in behind the bar--it's in the container with my name on it' Then they'll end up bringing me tequila.

    I give up.

    Ze Peanut, if you can find a waitress who respects that you are trying to control your drinking and tip her well and work something out. If whoever takes your drink order is not the bartender they are the last step before the bar and they can help you out.
    Thank Goodness I smartened up! The old me is dead and gone.

    I know how this feels. But I need to just quit drinking completely again. I'm just a fucking drunk in & outside of work (you know your bad when you work @ a juicebar & still wind up smashed). I lost my phone again...damn!

    Come up with a custom drink that is non-alcoholic. Call it whatever you want, but have the recipe kept behind the bar so the bartenders know what it is. You could call hit the "Banana Banger" or whatever you want & have it be something like ginger-ale & a creme mix... doesn't matter as long as it's non-alcoholic.

    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    If drinking really helps you work better, then just don't drink so much. Learn to pace yourself and control your intake so that you can keep that good buzz going and be a happier employee but not so much that you end up a drunken mess and depressed the next day. Maybe start by trying "I'll only have 2 drinks per hour" (and if a customer buys you more, go with having a signal to the waitress/bartender that you want something non-alcoholic). Then, the next hour, when you feel the buzz going away, you can have 2 more... If that's too much, do only one - if you think you can handle 3 without becoming a mess, up it to 3... just find what works without making you go over the edge. There are happy mediums between sober and wasted - you just need to work on the self control to maintain them. If you can't start drinking without being able to stop when you need to, then that's an issue you should seek help for. We all accidentally go over the top sometimes, but it shouldn't be happening every night you work.
