I was thinking about how to turn down a drink with a customer, or maybe drinking something that looks like it may have alcohol in it.
I don't want to drink while on the job. I want to make money not get stupid.
So what do you do?![]()

tell your bar staff/waitresses that guys often like to buy you drinks, but let them know you don't want to drink. make up a drink name, and tell them that whenever you order it you just want a glass of orange juice or lemonade with raspberry or something. or, just tell the waitresses that whenever you order a vodka & raspberry, you just want raspberry & lemonade. that way the guy will be none the wiser![]()
Good question, I need advice about this matter also.
A lot of clubs have a "code name" for fake drinks. Ask if yours does...for example at my club if a girl orders any drink "PC" or "extra dry"...the bartender knows to make it without alcohol.
If your club doesnt have this..maybe you can start it!

Thanks, I was thinking of letting them know at the bar to brink me a cranberry juice or something like that.![]()





If you are drinking too much juice during the night. Juice has alot of calories then just order bottled water. You can be overjoyed someone got you water because the water sucks at your club...dying of thirst and so on.
Smart of you to not want to drink on the job.

if people want to do shots with me i ask the bartender to fill my shotglass with water. that does the trick. after all, who really cares if it has alcohol in it? it's the ritual that seems to count.
Be careful with the water thing, in some(most) places its illegal for a club to charge for alcoholic shots that really are only water(I went through this when I was a shooter girl).
Order a 'cape cod' (cranberry/vodka) but tell the waitress/bartender that you just want the cranberry, the club can only by law charge for the cranberry juice though.
To save the headache just tell the customers your on allergy medications, or pain meds for a bad back(believeable in this industry) and you can not drink with them, but tell the guy you would love a bottle of water because the tap water at the club sucks. That way the bar still makes money.
I'm against fake drinks. Most customers know they exist, and when they find that a $15 juice is being charged to their tab, they get miffed.
Whenever I've used the "I'm on xyz medication," they wanted the whole story, which means I needed a fake story that took 1-2 songs for explanations.
I say this one: "Why thank you! I'm parched. Waitress, may I have a <brand name water>?"
When he asks, if he asks, why I did not order alcohol, I say, "I've had too much already! I'm so dehydrated," and give a you're-my-hero look.
Saying 'im on an allergy medication' doesnt really require a whole story... you have allergies, you take meds for them. Simple.
Not that this will apply to me since I don't want any alcohol -- but I remember a girl who always told customers that she only drinks champagne, no other alcoholic bevs. If you work somewhere that has sales incentives, that could work for you. It is an aim high approach I suppose.
I also remember being taught to dump your glass in a plant, the floor, behind a sofa .... kind of eff'd up but....





If I don't want to drink, I'll order a bottled water. If I get questioned why, I just say I'm not drinking today. No one has ever given me crap for that and I've never lost $$$. I've never ordered a fake drink (my club wouldn't let me anyway) and I've never had to dump a drink in a plant. Maybe I'm just lucky, but not ordering an alcoholic beverage has never been a hassle...





Clitee Kat, if you are working in AZ as your avatar indicates, dancers are not allowed to drink while working there anyway.
You know what? I never drink on the job and when customers ask me if I want a drink I just tell the truth and say I'd like a Diet Coke or water. People really don't seem to give a shit what I drink, as long as we're having fun. If someone does say something I just tell them that believe it or not I have a lot more fun when I'm not drunk, I'm a healthy girl, I feel confident enough to do my job sober, I am already high on life, etc. All positive answers that elicit a positive response.
Working sober is always a good idea. Good girl!![]()



People very often need an excuse, just ask for a bottled water or juice. Never been a problem for me. We are allowed one drink, most of us have this at the start of the shift before the customers start coming then just water etc. Everything is the same price where I work- juice, beer, mixer bottles- so they arent making any loss customers ordering juice for us.
If we get water or drinks for ourself then its obviously cheaper.
Its the same at my club..whether the girl orders water or a long island iced tea...all "ladies drinks" are $10.Originally Posted by stripper_london
Every now and then I do pull the "I'm only drinking champagne" line...I tell them that I've been drinking WAY too much lately and need to pace myself. Since not too many guys buy champagne rooms at my club..I say that it's a good way to ensure i dont drink too much. Then if they DO want a room...at least I'm getting paid a cpl hundred to drink a bit!

I didn't know that. But this info is god in case I go to another state.
I just want to learn all that I can. Thank you girls for being so helpful.![]()




when i first started a lot of girls urged me to drink because they said they worked better when they did.Originally Posted by Sunshine73
i thought that was bullshit and decided it wasn't worth it to compromise my own safety. plus, i can bank without alcohol.
cally, as for the water thing, the guys knew that the shot was filled with water and they didn't seem to mind. i doubt they got charged for it.
Smart decision not to drink on the job. Even smarter to stay clear of alcohol and all drugs..Whenever I felt "peer pressured" to drink, I always thought to myself, "whats going to be a worse feeling -me waking up tommorow thinking 'awwww why did I do that?! OR this guy feeling a little miffed because I told him that I was on antibiotics and dont want to mix alcohol and precription (hint hint)
I went to AM night and I saw about 5 or 6 girls that were working drunk or stoned or whatever. A couple of girls actually fell over and hit the wall. So I wll be working sober.Originally Posted by Sunshine73

I order an "Apricot Twist" at work. It's apricot juice - with ice!! Guys think it's alcoholic. I never said it was or wasn't so I'm not breaking any shot laws and if they notice no alcohol was dumped in I always point to the girl falling down yelling at customers and say, "THAT'S why I don't drink at work."
They always understand then.

Off-Topic, lo siento, but lilithmorrigan I love your new glasses avatar picture! Muy bonita.
At the club I waitressed at we had a special name for an alcoholic sounding drink the non-drinking dancers could order, but if asked if it was alcoholic they wouldn't lie, and they didn't charge for alcohol. It seemed to work.





Gracias.
speaking of not charging, the guys ask why my drink is always $3. Obviously it has no alc if it's $3. I always jest, "Well, the other drink I would've ordered is $15, would you have preffered that?" Seems to work as well.

i generaly say i have class in the morning. that works sun-thur. fri-sat my bartender knows to virgin up my drinks and the customer is none the wiser.![]()
I cant drink for the follwing reasons:
I'm 19
I'm at WORK
I'm still breastfeeding
I drive over an hour home
I wont drink because:
I dont want too
I dont want to then go back to doing drugs
I'm working not partying
A few guys wanted to buy me drinks on Friday and I said "Ohh noo noo I'm on 19 silly" and then another girl would say "Oh no one will care"
....I use the 19 bit because I want to sound cute and innocent... its kind of a turn on... Like "oh no I might get caught" LOL...
Once I start working regular shifts I will tell the waitress I am on a script where I cant drink alcohol and see if theres a code for no alcohole.
I mean it is kind of naughty sexy if I acted to young for a drink.... right? Like an innocent little girl... LOL!
