    Default Sometimes I need a buzz to dance, rant

    Okay, I made an ass out of myself last Tuesday for the first time in three years at this club. I got too drunk and the bartender was bitching about my lap dancing (post on another thread) when the DJ pulled me off stage (I didn't know I was pulled). I almost got in physical fight with her because she swung at me when I told her that she was a bitch and needed to mind her own damn business behind the bar. Well, now I am on alcohol probation for one month. I should have acted more calm and I was wrong for getting so violent about it. I realize that. But I think alcohol probation for one month is a bit harsh punishment for the crime here. Sometimes, not all the time, maybe once out of every three nights I work I like to have a drink or two at the most to lighten my mood up. The night I got out of hand the bartender herself was feeding my grandmaya (spelling) shots, which I can not handle and I did take them on my own free will. I can only drink vodka, it doesn't hang me over or cause me to act sloppy. Anyways, I couldn't get one freakin' dance tonight because I felt so uptight. I don't always rely on alcohol to relax me but every once in a while I like a glass of wine or something. I just took off and left tonight. I can't do this shit for free. I don't want to be a fuckin' stage ornament. And I know it was because custie's sensed my energy being uptight. I am going to go out of town again this weekend with a good friend of mine. I will limit my hours at my home club until my probation is up. Their excuse for this was that they put another girl on probation, which this girl rarely works at our club and is like 200 lbs! Plus, she gets drunk every single time she works. Other's have done worse than me. I guess because I am generally "good" my punishment is taken to extreme.

    A few girls at my club have been on alcohol probation for various periods of time. There are a few girls right now who still have drink restrictions, like not being able to drink shots, or not being able to drink after a certain time, or only being able to drink certain drinks, etc. I think that the club may be trying to use you as an example to other dancers, that if they get too drunk, or do anything out of hand, they will be punished also. Yeah, it sucks, but you could always go work somewhere else for a while. Try talking to the manager. One girl I work with was supposed to be on alcohol probation for 3 months, and she talked it down to 1 month. Its worth a shot.

    My husband said the same thing. I have too much pride to beg him to shorten the time. I'll just go somewhere else and work. It'll ultimately be his lost.

    I have a rule. I work 8-2. Between 8-10 I can have 2 drinks max. I get a slight buzz which lightens my mood and by the time it wears off - around 1230ish Im still happily working because i was already doing good (from the buzz)

    I also have this rule because at 2am when I leave i have an hour drive and am not a fan of DUIs...never want one.

    I guess just take it as a lesson learned... ya know? Its only a month. My girlfriend got banned from comming back to work for 6 months. They said she cant come back unless she can show that shes in rehab and AA... hows THAT for a strict SC. She was a sloppy, stupid drunk EVERY night. It took a few weeks of this before they told her the rules. I heard today that she came back into work a few days ago and they searched her bags for alcohol and said if she has even one drink shes fired....

    Where's this at, in California? That's crazy, she should go work somewhere else. If it's a constant problem I understand some sort of probation but if I am drunk one night a month is riduculous. I guess some dancers don't realize the freedom they have. If things are going fairly than you can go somewhere else. Most strip clubs won't turn down beautiful women.

    Can you sneak in alcohol? I knew a minor who would bring in her mouthwash bottle with liquor in it. No one thought a thing of it, and she never got sloppy. She was caught one night, though, when she was stopped on her way home and got a DUI.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    That does suck girlie, I hope everything works out. I guess none of these rules seem strict to me, as girls here can't drink period. It's so out of hand that if you get caught taking a shot/drunk/drugs etc, you're instantly fired, and risk having your dancer card/license revoked. Damn mormons.

    Playing devil's advocate here.You did get violent with a co-worker,so you shouldn't be surprised you're on probation.If you can't hold your alcohol,then you really shouldn't drink.Just my opinion.

    Well, I yelled at her for not minding her business which happens to be behind the bar not upstairs in the VIP room bitching because I am dancing. She also attempted to punch me in the face. Whether I was drunk or not I would have defended myself. It was just more extreme because I was drunk. It was just as much her fault as mine. Will she get put on alcohol probation, hell no! She was even giving me free drinks that night before the incident.

    In that case,she should be in trouble too.That part is unfair,I agree.The manager should have taken care of any situations instead of her.

    Right or wrong, it's only one month. The business is not fair. Don't lose money over it. I know it's the priniciple, but I'd go in and work.

    Bottom line is that not being able to drink alcohol is not a big deal. If it's that big a deal to you, you have a problem.

    This is the kind of shit that really pisses me off at my club. They have set a limit of two drinks per shift for all entertainers. Meanwhile susieQ and jane and lilly get caught screwing, giving hj/bj and that's okay because after all "well the owner said to let them work, you girls are independent contractors it's not our place to enforce you obey the law" WTF!!! So prostitution at work is allowed as long as god forbid we have no more than 2 drinks?!? Sorry got a bit off topic. I guess what I'm trying to say is I empathize with you.

    I agree, I just don't like being controlled that way.

    My friend sometimes brings in a water bottle (like nalgene) that is not clear. She fills it with Redbull and Vodka. Just an idea. And I understand your anger--sometimes I feel like my managers treat me like I'm in kindergarten and can't make good decisions on my own--even though I am super reliable, etc. Good luck!

    That sucks. I like to have a few drinks during the night, and have gotten wasted b/f (not proud of that). If I were you, I would put in a bottle of cranberry juice, or whatever you mix w/ , and just drink it in the dressing room, or b/f you go into work. go work somewhere else for awhile,
