    I rarely DON'T drink at work, but it's even rarer for me to get completely shitfaced.

    Although, it did happen on Saturday. I was in one of my regular clubs and it's nude/BYOB. I had a couple of beers with the son of a co-worker at my day job (Um, eek!) early on and I thought that would be it. Wellllll, then abuot 4am, the manager from my other club came in and we started doing shots of Grand Marnier and shooting the shit. He left right before closing at 6am and I walked into the dressing room. It wasn't until I sat down to open my locker that I realized that I was DRUNK. Really, really drunk. So drunk that I couldn't form words. People would ask me a question and I knew the answer, but I couldn't make my mouth say the words. Luckily, the dancers there are super sweet. They made sure I had all my money, got everything out of my locker and helped me down the ridiculously steep stairs that lead from the dressing room to the main floor, where hubby was so patiently waiting to take his silly, drunk, stripper wife home!

    I think it's so much easier to get drunk at a BYOB club because the waitress isn't bringing drinks. It's harder to keep track when you're just grabbing beers out of a tub of ice or pouring yourself shots from a bottle sitting on the table! That won't happen again for a LOOOOOOONG time!

    I don't drink anything but water. Haven't had a drink in over 2 1/2 years. I always found that I have enough problems walking in my stripper shoes...don't need any more. And, I've seen girls who get drunk and lose money...that's not something I want to do there, either. Once, a girl was so shitfaced at the end of her shift, that she left a whole wad of money by the punch-clock. She had just come out of VIP, so there was about $1,000 sitting there. I picked it up and walked it upstairs to her (she punched out right before I did). I couldn't imagine having made that much money to be too drunk to be able to keep track of it.

    I do not drink at all anymore because I am an alcoholic. I make at least $1000.00 a night. Be careful of the dangers of alcohol and drugs. I am speaking from 18 years of experience. I used to say that I could not work without being tanked. Now, I do not know how I ever made any $$. I thought it relaxed me too and made me feel more attractive. This was just my shitty self-esteem looking for a cop-out. The more $$ I make the more confident I feel, without dissassociating. The key is to not let the night affect how I feel about myself. Nothing looks worse, believe me, than a beautiful fucked up woman crawling around on stage. Your breath stinks, the money that people spend on drinks for you can be going into your pocket and alcohol and drugs age you.
    If you need to party - do it on your night off. You are stripping to make money, not party.

    I'll have one or 2 drinks at work and occasionally get a little tipsy, but I can bank or have a crappy night regardless of how much I drink.

    My second best night ever I was certainly tipsy and pulled in $1,700, but a few days later I had a $1,400 night (on a Monday!) stone cold sober.

    I noticed when I started working in Vegas 6 months ago that I felt like I "needed" a drink since there wre so many hard-core hustlers there, but I put the kibosh on that since I felt I was drinking too much and found I made the same regardless.

    My personal opinion is that if you need to drink excessively to be able to dance, you are in the wrong line of work.

    i like a glass or two of wine sometimes, not more than once a week. i'm attempting to be an obsessive fitness person, so alcohol would most likely derail my efforts. sometimes that little bit of wine loosens me up on a rough day, but all in all, my money is not effected. i prefer to be aware and awake.

    but sometimes, on those days where i feel like killing someone, a glass of wine or a puff from a joint make a positive difference.

    Well considering I am not old enough to legally drink yet (I'm 19)which is ironic because I am old enough to dance, I am not allowed to drink at work anyhow. But I honestly would not even want to drink at work if I could because I want to make sure I am mentally sharp. It might be different with different people, but alcohol does nothing to me but cloud my judgement and leave me with a nasty hangover the next day. I probably get both considering I drink about 2 times a year (my birthday and New Year's) and I'm a lighweight but oh well....

    I usually only have a few drinks if I am crabby before i get to work. It helps me relax. But as far as getting wasted.... Never. My club has enough drunks falling down making fools of themselves.

    I only drink on either Friday or Saturday. I alternate which weekend night I work from month to month. I try to just drink 1 glass of wine, just to relax, lately that hasn't been cutting it. I've been taking a couple of shots of Grey Goose here recently just to deal with the busy night. I usually do well buzzed or even slightly drunk. I'm defintely more friendly, and I usually leave the club financially satisfied.

    I guess I'll have to vote yes. I hardly ever drink outside of work these days, but I drink beer at work. It's a great drink for keeping you going, (works for me anyway...) and you don't get too drunk on it or destroy your liver too badly so long as you drink in moderation. I think it just helps to have a couple of beers to fit in with the atmosphere of being in a night club.
    Right from the 1st day I took up stripping, I got tips from customers for beer-drinking. I'm not sure why so many of them think it's special - maybe it's an Aussie bloke thing? But I do get lots of tips, usually $20-$30 at a time, sometimes more, sometimes less. Either way it pays for me to wonder round beer in hand!

    Im too much of a health nut to drink. I feel that alcohol is just empty calories. Plus since I don't drink often maybe once in a blue moon I get drunk way too quick

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    I used to never drink at a club. I started drinking at work about two years ago and it became a problem and a habit when I was at this particular club. I had to leave and change up the environment. I was having problems in my personal life and I'm embarrassed to say I would drink more just to forget. At my new club I have maybe 2 to 3 drinks and I love it there. I feel more at home and comfortable when I walk into that place. The management is awesome and customers are sweet.

    I am a light weight too so I stick with water or dr pepper at work. We also have had problems here in the past with girls getting roofied (sp?)(which makes no sense to me seeing that the girl can't leave with whomever drugged her)
    I have had problems with being dehydrated but the club I work in uses good water, so I use them to try to hydrate myself (amarillo water is nasty lol)

    Dallas here...I do not drink at all anymore and my money has tripled. I drank every night that I worked for years to the point of intoxication. I thought it made me look prettier and thinner. It just made me numb out. I have been sober for over a year. Drinking is a cop-out. I thought I had to drink to work - I just didn't want to face reality. If I were really myself in this environment, I would not make any money. My persona is what makes me money. I slip it on when I walk in the door to the club. It is just as easy, for me anyway, maybe even easier to work sober. I don't loose money, I look great all night and don't have to suffer the reprecussions of loosing the whole next day hungover. Before I quit drinking however, I tried to limit my drinking or only drink beer throughout the night. It never worked. In 18 years of dancing, I remember only working one night sober. Now I drink Red Bull, coke, iced tea - let the customers drink then take their money!

    I only really drink if a guy buy's my hour. If not I just order a beer and drink half of it. I drink coffee at work more than liquor.

    I am 19 and not of age to drink obviously. If I were able to drink I dont think I would or maybe just have a beer. Alcohol dehydrates your body and I am a big water freak at work cause I am always on stage dancing. Besides if I did have a few drink I would probably forget my purse in the dressing room, not pay attention to the time Im supposed to be up on stage, etc. For me it wouldnt be the best option.

    I find myself drinking more when I start working too much. If I work only 3-4 days a week, I rarely drink and I'm okay, but after 6, 7, 8 days in a row it's almost neccessary.

    I'm no health nut however I also feel that alcohol is just empty calories. Empty calories I just do not want nor need. I'm also like you... I hardly drink outside of work... so all I need is a couple of sips of a glass of red wine... and I'm feeling buzzed/tipsy.

    At whatever club I work at I stick to Ginger Ale. I used to be a lemonade (ie Sprite) girl however I now dislike the sweetness/sugary taste of it.... so Ginger Ale is my preferred drink of choice.

    EDIT TO ADD: If someone has bought me for an hour or longer, I will have a shot (preferrably) or a drink (vodka, lime and soda) with the guy.... if he offers to buy the drink.
