Yes. I will have the occasional drink, but I've never gotten drunk at work.





I am always sober. Unless I see it poured, I won't drink it, so if a customer buys me a drink it's a sealed bottle of water.

Yes, always, but I work in juice bars and I can't handle alcohol. I do like to be very caffeinated though.




I'll have a couple drinks at work. I have gotten drunk in the past and those aren't my proudest moments lol but these days the most I drink is just enough to get a buzz going. Nothing crazy.



Nope. I make more money when I drink and I live so close to work I never drive, plus I sell A LOT of expensive champagne rooms (at least one 3 out of 4 nights a week). I don't drink much champagne (too sugary and I'm sort of a sugar Nazi) but if I'm in an hr+ room I'll have 1-2 glasses of it. Otherwise it's shots of Belvedere for me, usually between 4-6 a night. I don't drink outside of work because, well, a) why pay for alcohol when I can get it for free 4 nights a week if I want it and b) my husband doesn't drink at all, period. He doesn't mind that I drink at work, but we have two rules: don't drink your money (as in, never buy it for yourself) and don't come home drunk unless you made money. No being drunk and broke.![]()

I noticed when I did have some drinks, the guys weren't as gross to me. It's not dark enough to see how gross looking they are.
I'm cutting back on my alcohol intake at work. My drinking was becoming an issue. Last time I worked was my first week cutting shots completely out. I had my highest earning night of the year. Most dances /CR of all the girls and we had like 25-30 working (our club is good at 17 dancers on weekends). I guess slightly buzzed looks good on me.
I like to have a slight buzz going into the shift. I've been intoxicated while working and I didn't feel like I had a handle on things. I feel like creep dudes can pick up on that sh*t and try to take advantage. Like if I have to count songs it's easy to lose track, I lose track Of time, and It slows my reflexes so I can't watch my back like a hawk and stay on my toes like I need to. And if some sh*t goes down the worst feeling is to have to deal with a negative situation AND deal with being intoxicated. So I stick to slight buzz if anything and nothing more.

Yes. I cant work and be wasted at the same time, it slows me down and makes me feel like shit. If I wanna drink and have a little fun, I save that for my personal life, not work.



Mostly. I started giving people the line "I only drink in the VIP" which is amazing for business but doesn't always prevent me from getting drunk! xD The bartenders at my club are really hit or miss. Some are just total assholes who will give me extra strong drinks when I ask them to water it down. And there's the occasional night when it's slow and I'm feeling really pissy/bored so I'll let someone buy me a couple shots. Glad I'm not a lightweight or this job would be the death of me.





Yeah. I'm not a very nice drunk. Last time I got drunk was Cinco de Mayo 2012 and apparently I screamed obscenities in English and Spanish over the mic in the DJ booth.

I have a routine where I go in and have two drinks before I start. Then I'm good for the night.
I like to have a buzz.
I've made a lot of money drinking, but a couple years ago I felt a problem coming on. I decided that if I had to drink to do something, I probably just shouldn't do it. That revelation was a game-changer.



I do--although I will drink at work if someone buys me a drink, I try to avoid any type of buzz--ditching half-finished drinks, etc. Three reasons:
1. I do better when I'm sober
2. If a guy wants to do shots with me in the VIP room, I'm probably still sober enough to function--and I can act drunker than I am.
3. I love alcohol, and associating it with work makes me sad. I'd rather drink in my free time!



I go on and off. I'll have periods where i'll work completely sober, buzzed, or super drunk.
Working sober is when I made money off one or two whales. I was able to spot them out while everyone else was drunk.
Working buzzed I was able to have a good flow going, but I would come off my buzz easily and get sleepy. So I'd have to maintain my buzz. I do alright money wise.
Working super drunk made a lot of money but always felt like crap from hangovers or being consistently drunk. Also men tried to push my boundaries more and I did not like dealing with that.
So it seems sober or really drunk I make great money. Anything in between not so much lol.



I work sober. I haven't been super buzzed in a quite a while. I haven't been drunk in five years. The custies at my club, if they're in groups tend to buy beer buckets. (No VIP here). If a bottle is offered, I sip forever and usually don't finish it. Caffeine is my friend.




Next month will be one year of sobriety for me. I make a lot more money now for sure working sober. There are some set backs though, for example not working this Memorial Day Weekend because I know the crowd will be overwhelming and I can't deal with it. But the setback is very minor compared to all I've gained. Instead of being that dumb drunk girl who loses her money I am the one finding random bills on the ground throughout the night and I see a lot more and control a lot more sober. I absolutely pretend to be drunk and will even take fake shots with customers![]()
I like to have a few drinks. Helps me kick the anxiety I still occasionally get when I do my first few stage sets and when socializing with customers.




I don't drink, so I'm always sober at work. I did work on Percocet for a week when I smashed my foot but it was either that or crying because it hurt so bad.
I used to like drinking at work, but I don't let myself get drunk anymore, both in my personal and work life. I don't mind working sober as I feel it allows me to relate to customers better, but it's boring to me. I'll still drink sometimes, but only enough to get me a very slight buzz, if time is going by slow.





I always worked sober, & if I ever go back, will continue to work sober. If I felt distressed/depressed enough that I was starting to think I had to drink to get thru the shift, I would either stay home, or just pack my stuff & leave if I was already at work. Nvr more than one lightweight alcoholic drink a shift, if I had any at all, & I could make it last for hrs bc I nursed it & got a full glass of it w/ no ice so it wasn't getting watered down![]()
I am naturally clumsy enough that I can fake being bombed off my ass, & can almost always find a way round actually ingesting a drink that's been put in front of me when I didn't ask for it. Tossing the shot over my shoulder or under the table when no one's looking … once spent 2hrs dumping my drinks ninja-style into the fake potted plant nxt to me … or pulling a 'oh shit it tried to go down wrong' &![]()
lol @ tossing the drink over your shoulder or under the table! I assume the place is carpeted. I bet these places don't clean the carpet so I can only imagine what other liquids are lurking in the carpets. Note to self: never let bare feet touch the floor.
But it if a customer want to do some social alcoholic drinking, I drink slow as hell like baby sips, pretend like I'm already tipsy - I tell them I take shots in the dressing room, and then pour the rest in the bathroom sink. I wish I could pour that sh*t on the floor but our drinks are like 12 oz. and there'd be wet puddles everywhere.
