I am already 31 and haven't been in the business long. I have a degree in a low-paying field, so I basically just want to do this until I get my college loans payed off and have the down-payment for a house. The problem is that I am too old to be drinking as much as I am. I am not a partier, I just have trouble engaging with the clientele and not clocking out too early if I am sober--I get very bored and reserved with such a fake-ass place and fake-ass people when sober. I know that a dancer who drinks on shift is nothing new or unheard of. I just want to have a couple days a week where I can stay sober and still get after the money as if I am properly buzzed on vodka-redbulls, without the alcohol and caffeine. I know that it is up to me to make this happen, but I was wondering if any of you who have struggled with the same dilemma have come out on top and what you did in order to master sober-minded confidence, prowess, and will. I have considered anti-drinking medication, but I enjoy having a cocktail with friends when I'm not at work, and I do not suffer alcohol withdrawal during my days off--yet.
Thanks! <3
