Alchohol as a mental lube

Never been much of a drinker although there was a period of maybe 2 or 3 years where I often tried to get a buzz in the club.

Thus I can't speak w/ a lot of personal experience but it seems most people become much less inhibited/defensive when they have a good buzz going.

Of course Beer makes you smart. It made BUD Wiser....

That amount would differ for a lot of people.

For me, a guy who shares a bottle of wine once a month, and maybe has a glass of wine with dinner say once a week, get 3 strong drinks in me and I'm loosened up. It probably takes Juice a 30 pack of Buschhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to loosen him up. It takes SJG a passed out woman and rope to get him loosened up and it takes Lil Fishsticks a pack of Ho-Hos and a Fruit Roll Up to get him going.

Do you mean at the strip club or real life?

In real life dating, alcohol is something adults engage in and enjoy. But I don't "use" it or plan to get my dates drunk.

At the strip club, alcohol is pretty much 100% win. A $5 drink will buy 20 minutes of her time. Four $5 drinks and she'll forget about time altogether, loosen up in the back, have very fun conversations, and generally enjoy her time with you more (or hate it less -- whatever, still a win). Don't go too far because a lot of strippers are mean, trashy drunks. But get them buzzed and all the magic happens. That includes making other poor choices -- such as going OTC with me :)

$5 drinks in strip clubs? You clubbing in the 1950's?

ok it's been 4 hours since you posted - obviously killing time while you waited for hotties to show up. By about now I hope you are havin a fuckin time !

If no one showed up yet - just text back I have $200 waiting for each of you. $ is the best lube ever

There's one stripper at my club that is a real sweetheart when sober, very friendly and very "hands on", lol. When she is drunk, she is loud, obnoxious, and wines and complains about everybody and everything.

Fortunately, at that point, the bartender or manager always makes her leave.

Point is, alcohol affects people differently. But in general it does make people more open, free, and usually leads to bad decisions that we later regret.

Marijuana is far far more effective than alcohol with far fewer negatives.

-->"$5 drinks in strip clubs? You clubbing in the 1950's?"

Ha! You can't get those prices on later night shifts. But well drinks are $5 (-ish) at even our highest-end clubs during the daytime. And "happy hour" (which I think is before 9pm) at Penthouse, well shots are an absurd $2.50 each. These clubs all have strip-club-normal prices on nightshift, and strip-club-normal for the mid-shelf and higher, but have VERY reasonable prices during most of dayshift on lower-end drinks. Which is what I buy.

I seldom drink, though I did have an interesting bourbon sour with a hint of rosemary when I went out with friends last night. A little alcohol is ace but being excessive is never good.

And drinking and driving is seriously d-baggy. :(

I also don't do drugs. I won't condemn users of marijuana and I actually think legalization is a good idea (so long as people don't get stoned and drive). More serious drugs are a seriously bad idea!

The cocktail I referred to was at a bar, not a strip club. Normally I'm more of a simple jack and coke guy. Though I occasionally mix it up.

But I mix it up with limits. A gay friend said I made his gaydar go off when I ordered a Cosmo. Haven't ordered one since! (Not that there's anything wrong with being gay. It's just that I'm straight!)

You definitely need to be secure in your masculinity to order a cosmo in public LOL

I almost always stick with shots at the strip club. Or straight up whiskey

4got: I think it would be more acceptable to order that cosmo if, when you ordered it, you stuck your hips out to one side, pursed your lips, and said it like, "A cosmo would be FABULOUS!". And then snapped your fingers way out to the side.

Alcohol is one hell of a social lubricant in the clubs. Once every year or two I will end up in a dry club for shits and grins, often after I've tied one on at another club, and the atmosphere in those clubs is completely different. I also find the attitudes of teetotaler strippers to be far less fun than those who have a few drinks with the customers.

In Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha en.wikipedia.org

A man planning to kill himself finds release by stopping in a tavern and drinking alcohol. And the English writer Colin Wilson makes much of this.

But I still think it a mistake to ever use alcohol, or depend upon it. What it gives you, you can learn to do a better job of giving yourself.

Although it's also the case that "dry club" only means "dry for the customers". The girls are in the back getting buzzed, with little bottles of whatever they sneak in. The only difference for them is, they have direct control over how much they drink, rather than having customers pressure them. In the dry club I used to frequent, you could buy bottles of water or sodas. I'd buy one of the water bottles (so it was the exact same brand), walk down the street to a liquor store, replace the water with vodka. My ATF and a couple of her friends would rotate through sitting next to me and drinking from my water bottle. I believe 100% that the bouncers knew what was going on and ignored it, there's otherwise no reason strippers would be so excited to sit next to me, much less ever consider taking a sip from my water.

Some girls at some dry clubs sneak in booze. But not all girls at all clubs.

If she needs a buzz to do her job, then she has a drinking problem, and this is going to effect the ways she thinks, wet or dry.

So I prefer girls who don't drink.
