Water or Booze

I usually drink water and do an occasional drink as I am usually from out of town and do not know the habits of the police. Years a there was a fun club in Toledo call Platinum Showgirls and the cops would sit a block away in all directions waiting to pull over guys leaving the club. I always saw someone pulled over as I left.
I have noticed that many times the beer special is cheaper than a bottle of water. (A bucket of 4 beers for $10 and a bottle of water is $5 or $6). There was one time I considered asking the a random guy at the next table to split a bucket with me.
Also booze make decision making more difficult and my ROB detector not work as well or at all. (It is much easier to be fooled by her looks if I have a beer or 3!

I don't like to drink water because it is usually served in those cheap plastic containers and I hate the plastic aftertaste which I am sensitive to especially if the water is not very cold.
I am one of two ways when I go out. Not driving, several drinks, usually liquor (bourbon or vodka, occasionally rum) and I may do shots with a stripper or even a waitress if they are allowed.
If I'm not "drinking" I may have 1 bourbon on the rocks or 1 beer, then I usually switch to a Diet Coke, a Tonic Water or bottle water.
I don't drive drunk; I take mass transit to the city, then taxi/uber/lyft around the city. If I drive, I slow down the drinking to keep myself under the legal limit
Since I was a regular SCer I developed a habit of having strong mixed drinks when SCing and got shit-faced a few-times and eventually gave it up (had a more stressful job back then also that led me to getting my drink-on when I SCed).
For a while after I have up drinking altogether I stuck w/ water and that's what I'll usually have on dayshift which are more than half my visits these days - on nightshift I'll have a Coors Lite or Bud Lite since I'll drink that slower than water.
I also don't trust the quality of the mixed drinks at many SCs particularly dives; often either watered-down or bad-quality alcohol yet they charge a lot - before I quit alcohol altogether I'd have a Long Island when I would visit Tootsies Miami and that often gave me a buzz - last time I ordered one a couple of months ago it didn't do anything for me and I'm 99% sure it was watered-down or extremely poor-quality alcohol (14 bucks w/o tip down the drain).
Often 4-5 for each of us.
in regards to the number of drinks... vegas during happy hour i will have at least two to four. california juice bars i will have unlimited free fountain drinks or one paid drink. tijuana... usually at least ten to twenty paid drinks. cheers!!
Wine with dinner, yeah. A shot of whisky after dinner, yup. Drinking in a club to make the girls prettier and more fun? Nah.
