    Default No drinking for dancers?

    Hello all, I've been lurking here for a while (lots of interesting reading ) and figured i would jump in with a question a friend and I had discussed the other day. Would a club that didn't allow entertainers to drink on the job (be it buying for themselves or customers buying for them) be able to get and retain dancers? Or would too many dancers find that too restrictive of a work environment? I thought it might be kind of hard, but what do you think? Thanks for any and all responses!

    I love when dancers drink. Wednesday I bought Miss M (4) shots of Jaegger (sic) she turned into a wanton slut. Life was good for about an hour

    This afternoon she asked me "What did I do FBR? I was pretty drunk." I just smiled

    There already are clubs that don't allow the dancers to drink.

    typically, a club that doesn't have a license to serve alcohol won't "allow" the dancers to drink. I've worked in a club where this was strictly enforced. Girls would tell on other girls if they saw them sneaking some alcohol.

    Thanks for the replies all. Yeah, know some places don't serve alcohol at all. i guess im talking about a club that serves drinks to customers, but not to workers. Would there be enough ladies that would work like that to keep the business staffed? Of course i'm sure city size/competition would have something to do with it. Do you think it would bother customers that they couldn't buy ladys drinks(saw that in another thread)? btw, i hope no one thinks i am implying that strippers are all drunks i just know in my group of friends im the only non-drinker(that's where the conversation started with my friend, heh), and i have seen other posts about drinking at the clubs, so i wondered how a rule like that would effect people wanting work there. Sapphire, you mentioned that knew of some places like that. Did they have problems attracting talent? I appreciate everyones responses....although it sounds like FBR might not have as much fun at such an establishment...lol.

    I guess money to be made at the club and other general work environment factors would play a part too Lets just say all else being equal more or less, would you like a club that had a rule like that? Thanks all!

    For me personally.. that rule would be null and void. I only drink water or lemonade or coke anyway. I also drink it in a glass otherwise used for alocholic drinks so the punter thinks I'm drinking anyway.

    If they ask what the drink is or what is in it... I usually say "Well.. it isn't just lemonade" (I'm not lying.. it's not just lemonade.. it's lemonade and ice..lol!!)

    As for my opinion if they could hold talent.. yes and no at the same time. The ones who really can't do the job without some help would leave... however the ones who know they can do the job sober (and still have fun) will stay.

    In my opinion, the non-drinking dancers are the most fun (most of the time)... then again.. I'm one of them hence I'm biased LOL

    I'm not allowed to drink alcohol at my work, because I'm under 21 [even though if I probably asked the bartenders they'd serve me, but it's a good excuse] - I think it effects a little the clientele who like to buy the ladies drinks that think it a bad sign if the girl drinks non-alcoholic. On the other hand, there are plenty of places that don't serve alcohol at all that do fine, so I don't think it would be too big of a deal.

    Dancers should not be Drinking anyway. I had a Drunk Dancer who gave me a headache because she was reeking of Alcohol. Good Dance but awful headache. I need to concentrate on a lower head then my upper head during a Lap Dance.

    BAN ALCOHOL AT STRIP CLUBS!

    Especially ban Dancers from Drinking! Drunk Dancers Boooo!

    not at all. It was the place to work. this was a nude club that did not serve alcohol.

    I can't imagine an alcohol club forbidding it's 21+ dancers to drink at all. Alcohol sales is where these clubs make their money anyhow.

    Why ban dancers from drinking? It's one thing to have a few drinks and be a party girl. Another entirely to be completely sloshed.

    As a side note, even when drinking is not allowed, there's always a few cheaters who are slick enough to slip though the cracks.

    (this was posted earlier as was a response from destiny, but arent here now...i assume it was a forum glitch unless they were removed for some reason, but i wouldn't know why...we'll try again )i guess i was looking at it from a better work environment perspective. i.e. you and management wouldn't have to worry about other girls that would make fools of themselves (as i've read others talk about) and you might have less of a chance of people doing things that could get themselves, coworkers and owners in trouble with the law (extras or even nudity in non-nude states)

    I personally think social drinking with my club friend makes the experience better. If part of what you like is the flirtation and conversation then drinking and having a party girl to do it with seems OK. As with anything moderation.

    I'm allowed to drink while dancing (heh heh) however, I absolutely refuse to do so. Being drunk does nothing to help me keep track of my money. And, although I love dancing, there is no way that I would work for free. So, I don't drink...if I customer insists, then I just order a "pretend" drink and let them satisfy themselves with the thought that I am drinking by paying the full drink price. Worked every time.

    I think it effects a little the clientele who like to buy the ladies drinks that think it a bad sign if the girl drinks non-alcoholic.
    In topless alcohol clubs, dancers being expected to drink with club customers is part of the game. Many customers will get VERY upset if they discover that dancers are drinking "low octane" cocktails which the customers have been charged large amounts of money for. In the long run, a dancer working topless alcohol clubs will not do very well financially if she does not drink along with customers (although in the short term she can probably get away with it).

    In non-alcohol nude clubs, drinking is of course not an issue. However, in nude clubs, the name of the game is usually contact.

    I guess the general idea im getting is that dancers might not be bothered (with some exceptions per destiny's post that went *poof*..heh), but customers probably wouldnt like it....What if customers knew up front that the girls didnt drink? that they were just buying another form of time? Thanks everybody, i've found everything i've read very interesting...they dont have drink hustles at any of the clubs i've been to, so i didnt know how big a part of the game it was.

    I've told customers that I don't drink...and spent the next 5 minutes having them "hound" me about drinking. I dunno...I guess that they think if I don't drink, then my tolerance is low; which means I'll get drunk faster and have a "lot more fun". If these kinds of guys don't let up abou the drinking, then I'll order the non-alcoholic cocktail that looks like an alcoholic cocktail. I find the younger guys really insist that I drink. The older men don't care and actually have commented to me that it impresses them when I stick to my guns and don't drink.

    I know a club that (a few years ago) started hireing extra security. These Dudes monitored the girls number of drinks, escourted them to and from stage, and yanked them off stage if they acted too drunk or broke any rules. They would also stand about 8- 10 feet back and watch the lap dances. I've gotten a dance where they put another stool a few feet over from me , for another guys dance. so one guy could monitor both dances. The other guy decieded against the dance , and i got nomore myself.
    maybee a little off subject ... now that a think of it

    yes, they do. I'm sure it depends on the city but absolutely there are minors working in clubs that serve alcohol.
