Adding to the recent topics regarding addictions and the impact of the lifestyle on the dancers.
Most of my favorites drink and smoke. Most work day shift at least five days a week and almost each day they are downing drinks and smoking. They all have regulars and the regulars expect them to party including me.
Given the environment, I think it would be extremely difficult for a dancer not to succumb to partying everyday. From what I've seen, most on day shift do.
They are all fine although I have been surprised that, most, do look older than their stated age.
Imagine these honey's are partying hard almost every single day when most people probably party like that a few times a month a most.
The talk is always about the toll hard drugs take but just the day-to-day partying takes just as great a toll in the long run.
